Mid - Senior Designer, Developer

Job description

The Studio

This small, design-led property developer works across prime residential projects, combining development, interior design, and project delivery under one roof. Their work ranges from significant private homes to high-end multi-unit residential schemes, with projects approached holistically from early acquisition and concept through to completion.

As an example the studio has recently worked on a substantial Chelsea townhouse involving façade retention, basement excavation, and sensitive heritage detailing, alongside an ultra-prime apartment development in Surrey. As an in-house team, they are commercially aware but design-driven, with a strong focus on thoughtful layouts, beautifully resolved detailing, and homes that feel both elevated and genuinely liveable.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity for a midweight or senior interior designer to join a close-knit team and take a central role across high-end residential projects from concept through to completion. Sitting within a property developer rather than a traditional design studio, the role offers unusually broad exposure to the full life of a project, from early design direction and feasibility through to technical delivery, procurement, and site.

You will contribute across interior architecture and FF&E, developing concepts, preparing presentation material, sourcing finishes and furniture, producing detailed drawing packages, and coordinating information with consultants, contractors, fabricators, and suppliers. There will be a strong emphasis on bespoke joinery, materiality, specification, and ensuring design intent is carried through carefully into delivery.

This would suit a designer who is ready to take real ownership, enjoys being close to the realisation of a project, and can balance creative ambition with practical and commercial considerations. Within a small, ambitious business, you will have the opportunity to make a visible contribution and play a meaningful role in shaping the final outcome of each project.

The Candidate

• Strong understanding of both interior architecture and FF&E
