Who We Are
Architecture Social is a specialist recruitment partner and professional community built for architects and designers. We work with studios renowned for delivering luxury hotels, boutique hospitality venues and heritage-sensitive refurbishments. These practices regularly approach us before advertising, asking us to identify architects who understand the unique demands of hospitality design — from guest flow and interior coordination to working within listed building constraints.

What our clients typically ask for
ARB-registered Architect with experience in hotel, leisure or high-end hospitality projects

Strong technical delivery skills, particularly through RIBA Stages 3–7 on refurbishment or fit-out schemes

Proficiency in Revit with an appreciation for interior detailing, material specification and FF&E coordination

Experience working with heritage buildings — understanding of listed building consent, conservation methods and traditional construction techniques

Ability to coordinate complex stakeholder groups including hotel operators, brand consultants and specialist contractors

A design eye that balances operational efficiency with atmosphere and guest experience

If your work shows sensitivity to context and precision in delivery, we want to hear from you.
