Cartwright Pickard is an architecture practice with studios in London, Leeds, Manchester and Cambridge. Founded in 1997, we meet the challenges that matter to people and planet, with architecture that looks beautiful, performs brilliantly and grows old gracefully.
By listening closely and challenging respectfully, we create value for everyone who encounters our architecture. We unite head with heart and creativity with research to create places that improve people's lives. As a team we are naturally curious, creative and inclusive: we consider every angle, put insight into action, make relationships matter and build a legacy in how we think, act and create.
Our work spans housing, build-to-rent, student living, workplace, civic and community buildings, urban regeneration, education, and hotels and leisure. We are known for research-led design in offsite and modern methods of construction, Passivhaus and low-carbon design, Net Zero Carbon, digital design and BIM, and heritage and retrofit.
It is why we enjoy and take pride in our work, and why clients enjoy working with us. Time and time again.
Everything we do is a team effort. We have built an open, fair and friendly culture that lets a diverse and talented team flourish. Alongside the work there is a Cycle to Work scheme, a CSR and charitable programme, and regular socials including an annual family picnic. Flexible working is considered on an individual basis.
We are committed to making our practice and our industry a more diverse, equal and inclusive place to work. We actively encourage applications from under-represented groups in architecture, including Black, Asian and minority ethnic people, people with disabilities, and people who identify as LGBTQ2IA+. To support recruitment we blind sift CVs and seek to eliminate unconscious bias through specialist training.
We are naturally curious, creative and inclusive. We consider every angle, put insight into action, make relationships matter, and build a legacy in how we think, act and create.
The best ideas always win here, whoever they come from. You will join a supportive, open-plan studio culture across London, Leeds, Manchester and Cambridge, with a comprehensive staff development programme, generous training budgets, and annual study tours to destinations of architectural interest.
