What is the company's vision?

"We believe that designing a home is one of the most meaningful things an architect can do. Our vision is to make spaces that improve people's lives.

"We set the bar high on service, design and delivery, working closely with clients to craft buildings that are deeply personal, technically robust and quietly transformative.

"Over time, we aim to build a body of work that is known for its clarity, warmth and humanity.

"We design homes that are intended to last generations – quietly radical in how they reframe light, space and family life. We love what we do, and we believe the joy of making architecture should be felt in the final experience of living in it."

What is the practice working on?

"We are currently working on a number of exciting residential projects across the UK and Europe, all of which reflect our deep commitment to sustainability, context and craft.

"These include a highly energy-efficient, minimalist home in Chelsea, a new eco-designed house on a backland site in London, and the sensitive restoration of two barns – one on the windswept coast of Leiston, Suffolk, the other nestled among vineyards near Bordeaux, France.

"We are also designing a major retrofit and extension of a London townhouse for the head of design at a well-known software company, reimagining the home as a space for both family life and focused creative work.

"One particularly ambitious project involves converting a building that dates back to the 18th century that was used to make machine parts for aircraft, later turned into commercial premises.

"Set within a conservation area, we are creating a striking new residence, complete with a central planted atrium, a rooftop garden, and a swimming pool, bringing light, nature and tranquility deep into the heart of the home."

What is the culture like at Neil Dusheiko Architects?

"We believe great design comes from dialogue –not ego – and we encourage open, generous collaboration across the studio.

"We hold regular design reviews and support each other through mentorship, cross-team collaboration and open dialogue – valuing ideas from all levels of experience.

"Our practice respects boundaries, maintains a healthy work-life balance, and has created a culture where people can grow both professionally and personally.

"Our culture balances creativity with care – both for our work and for each other. We are curious, supportive and share a collective commitment to design that has a real impact.

"We value our team and understand the different pressures everyone faces, supporting flexible working where possible."

What are the career opportunities at Neil Dusheiko Architects?

"As we grow, we are committed to creating opportunities for architects to lead their own projects, contribute to the strategic development of the practice, and take on meaningful responsibility across design, delivery and client care.

"We support ongoing professional growth and are building clearer structures for career progression and team leadership.

"As a small practice, there is real scope to shape the direction of the work and the studio itself. We have put several young architects through their accreditation process and have a policy of progression in place for long standing employees."

What makes Neil Dusheiko Architects stand out?

"It is our design ethos and that we do interesting work that is unique to us, for example, there are not many homes with a two-storey, internal green wall!

"Some of our core senior staff have at some point run their own practice or led projects under their own name. This gives rise to a culture of mutual respect, high standards and genuine collaboration.

"Although each project has a lead architect, our team works fluidly across multiple schemes – sharing ideas, challenging one another and contributing meaningfully regardless of title.

"It is an environment where dialogue takes precedence over ego. At its best, architecture is a collaborative craft, and for us, the process is just as important as the finished building. That spirit runs through everything we do."

What qualities does your company look for when it's hiring?

"We look for people who are thoughtful designers and proactive collaborators. Technical competence is important, but so is sensitivity – being able to listen, take initiative and contribute ideas with humility and clarity.

"We value curiosity, kindness, good humour, and a strong sense of personal responsibility. We look for people who are empathetic, thoughtful and technically capable designers who understand the emotional side of architecture and the need for precision in delivery.

"We value experience, high levels of initiative, and a collaborative spirit. Many in our team have run their own projects or practices and we value that independent drive coupled with generosity in team settings."

What makes Neil Dusheiko Architects stand out to future employees?

"We are small enough that everyone has a voice and big enough to deliver award-winning work. You get creative ownership and the chance to make your mark on meaningful, well-crafted projects.

"You work closely with an experienced and supportive team that cares deeply about the work and about each other. We invest in people for the long term and aim to foster an environment where each team member can thrive."
