About Us

Waldo Works is a London-based design studio offering architectural and interior services, established for over 25 years and operating internationally across high-end residential, hospitality, retail, and luxury developments. Known for modern British design, we bring an instinct for unexpected colour and material, underpinned by deep historic and technical building knowledge.
We work with some of the world's most discerning clients – some commercial clients include Selfridges, Smythson of Bond Street, and Fortnum & Mason – and see projects seamlessly from concept through to completion, encompassing architecture, interiors, project management, and FF&E procurement. Our designs are rooted in place and shaped by the rituals of the individual, and our high proportion of returning clients speaks to the relationships we build along the way.
We are a small, close-knit studio where every member of the team plays a meaningful role.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Waldo Works is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive studio.

Why Work Here?

Joining a small studio means great exposure across all project stages. You’ll work directly alongside the studio's founders and senior team, gaining broad exposure to every stage of the architectural process. We'll support your professional development with our monthly CPD sessions. We foster a studio culture that values craft, curiosity, and a good sense of humour – we work hard, but we enjoy doing it together.

Portfolio Requirements

Please submit a PDF portfolio (max 10MB) alongside your CV and a short cover note. We'd love to see work across multiple project stages, demonstrating both design sensibility and technical ability. Technicians should highlight specification and construction experience prominently.

Our Interview Process

We typically run a two-stage process: an initial in-person interview at our London studio, followed by a second interview – in-person or online – with the director.
