About Us
A bit about us
Our vision is to create spaces that enhance people’s lives with sustainable design for better living, wellbeing, health and happiness, all backed by scientific evidence and research. We need someone who believes in our mission to join our practice in Birmingham.
We are a start-up husband and wife business born out of lockdown, who have flourished in the difficult circumstances of the pandemic to the point where we need someone to help us grow.
We work on various projects from residential to commercial. Our lead architect has over 15years of multi-sector experience whilst also being WELL AP qualified.
In joining our team, you will get to experience everything there is to offer in an architect firm. As a key team member, we desire someone with the right attitude and aptitude. Our future ambitions are to work on design-led homes, care homes, hospices, schools, primary care sector and other projects where we can make a real difference, considering wellbeing and sustainability in design. We feel that there is an invaluable place for people to benefit from wellbeing in design.
Company Culture
Work hard, play hard
It's all about balance.
We go out, have socials, enjoy ourselves and are open to creative ideas.
We've had our fair share of experiences and understand what is good and bad in past careers, and we have a culture of flexibility and work; all in good balance.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Yes!
• The female director/architect/co-founder was the only female to graduate in her year.
• Both director's parents immigrated to the UK
• BAME background
• A none-architect as director/co-founder - knowledge diversity
We care about multi-generations, genders, moral, ethics, neuro-diversity, other backgrounds and more. Everyone is included.
So yeah, you may find it a struggle to find another firm that is just as diverse in itself.
It should never be about this, but as long as you can you help us on our vision and mission to change lives for the better while having fun and getting the work done then that's what matters to us.
Why Work Here?
We differentiate ourselves by being an innovative architect firm. Our vision is having a practice where it’s fun to work, idea’s and innovation flow and all members are part of an integrated team. One of our co-founder directors is not an architect but has skills in innovation, marketing and business, which are used to push out-of-the-box thinking and using various experiences from other industries. Hence, everyone we speak to loves our business model and approach.
This is a fabulous opportunity for the right person whose future career potential will not be limited, and if they have the right growth-mindset to aim high and push boundaries you will have a great future ahead of you.
So, what are you waiting for?
