Our workflow will generally include importing files produced by Rhino -including models generated by grasshopper baked as mesh- and Revit, thus it is important to have the ability to solve possible problems, collaborate with the designer and find the optimum solution to achieve the visualization in question.

- a strong eye for detail and a willingness to work in an environment with shifting priorities
- a passion for design across all disciplines
- as you will be working on complex projects as part of teams based in the UK and in Singapore, an excellent command of both written and verbal English is required
- minimum five years’ of experience in a relevant field
- candidates must submit a portfolio with their application to be considered
Your portfolio should demonstrate:
- examples of projects where landscape is the main component of the still
