Breaking the Architect Mold: Enrique Soler’s Shift to Interior Design at Willmott Dixon Interiors
Architecture careers do not have to stay on the most obvious path. Interiors, contracting, retrofit and client-side delivery can all offer serious design work and a broader view of the industry.
Stephen Drew speaks with Enrique Soler of Willmott Dixon Interiors about moving from architecture into interior design and main contracting, building technical confidence and avoiding the trap of becoming too narrowly specialised.

How architects can add value inside interior design and contractor teams
