Leading the design and delivery of residential projects from inception to completion on site demands design authority, technical command, and the ability to inspire both clients and teams — and top residential practices are always seeking this calibre of architect.

Who We Are
Architecture Social works with residential-focused architecture studios, design-led practices, and boutique firms across London who deliver high-end housing schemes, apartment developments, and sensitive refurbishment projects. We are regularly briefed on Senior Architect roles where design leadership, client management, and multi-disciplinary coordination are central to the position. Our established relationships mean we often hear about these opportunities well before they are publicly advertised.

– ARB registration with a minimum of eight years' post-qualification experience
– A strong portfolio demonstrating residential projects delivered through all RIBA work stages
– Design leadership with the confidence to present to clients and manage consultant teams
– Thorough understanding of UK planning and building regulations including conservation area constraints
– Experience mentoring junior architects and Part I/II students
– Strong design sensibility combined with excellent technical resolution
– Experience with listed building constraints is particularly valued

If your career has been defined by a commitment to residential design excellence, we want to hear from you.
