MALIN+LYNN is seeking a senior project architect to join its architecture and interior design studio in London.

We are looking for an experienced, talented and creative architect with a passion for beautifully crafted residential architecture and interior design to join our friendly and collaborative team, based at 180 The Strand.

Our work focuses exclusively on bespoke private homes, from sensitive refurbishments and listed buildings to ambitious extensions and interior design fit-outs across London.

There will be close collaboration with the interiors team, so we are looking for someone with a natural passion for materiality, finishes and colour to harmonise our holistic approach to design.
