The front-of-house role in an architecture or design studio is far more than answering phones — it sets the tone for every client visit, every design review, and every collaboration that walks through the door.
Who We Are
Architecture Social works with architecture practices, interior design studios, and multi-disciplinary consultancies across London who regularly seek polished, personable, and proactive receptionists. We understand that these studios need someone who reflects their creative brand from the moment a visitor arrives. Our clients brief us on front-of-house roles that combine traditional reception duties with studio coordination, event support, and administrative responsibilities.

– Previous reception or front-of-house experience, ideally within a design, architecture, or professional services setting
– Confident and professional telephone manner with excellent communication skills
– Ability to manage meeting room bookings, visitor registration, and catering coordination
– Smart, professional presentation that reflects the studio's design-led culture
– Competence with Microsoft Office and comfort managing multiple phone lines
– Willingness to support office management with post, couriers, stationery, and event logistics

If you take pride in creating a welcoming, professional first impression and thrive in creative environments, we want to hear from you.
