Studio Bark is seeking an architectural assistant to join its team in London. 

Part 2 architectural assistant to join our growing practice at Studio Bark

Please note: experienced Part 1’s may apply, but must provide evidence of a minimum of 12 months with an RIBA chartered practice.

The studio

We are an innovative and forward thinking practice working in a broad range of sectors, specialising in housing ranging from small scale extensions to large bespoke family homes. We have a passion for design and outstanding, ecologically driven architecture. We believe that if environmental architecture has any chance to change the world for good, it is essential that the architecture itself can stand alone.

Driven by the belief that architecture and construction should not be separate disciplines, we use the process of making to further our knowledge and refine our architectural expression. We love testing new materials, learning from traditional craftspeople and engaging in education through universities and other partners.

As a young studio, the work we deliver is diverse, interesting and constantly evolving. Working in a large creative community in Hackney Wick, we like to involve other architects, artists, graphic designers, and makers to critique and enrich our output.

Our focus on the environment sets us apart and guides every decision we make both in projects and studio life. We cycle where possible, eat lunch together with homemade food and grow some of our own food in the studio. More details about what we do and who we are can be found on our website.

We are looking for an individual who shares our ethos, is not afraid to challenge our ideas and can help us improve and grow as a practice. We want to meet someone organised, self-motivated, passionate and can demonstrate conviction in (his/her) their written, spoken and visual expression.
