Project architect
at TDO
TDO is hiring a project architect to join its team in London.
About TDO
TDO is an AJ 40 under 40 practice founded in 2012. The practice is based in Southwark in a purpose-built studio suspended in a railway arch between Waterloo and London Bridge.
The practice’s first built project, Forest Pond House (2013), a timber-framed meditation space and children’s den cantilevered over a garden pond, is emblematic of TDO’s approach in working with simple forms and face finished materials. Other built works include: Old Church Street, an infill town house in Chelsea (2015); ‘Right to Flight’, a rooftop gallery pavilion designed in collaboration with artist James Bridle for Bold Tendencies in Peckham (2015); Fab House, low cost modular terrace housing in North Shields, for Places for People and Urban Splash (2018); the workplace for property specialists The Modern House (2018), and The Low Line arches, the adaption and reuse of vacant railway arches along the Low Line in Southwark, which challenges conventional fit outs with innovative proposals supporting local industries (2021), which was also recently shortlisted in the AJ Retrofit Awards. Current projects include Great Suffolk Yard, the retrofit and redevelopment of industrial warehouse buildings in Southwark into a thriving new workspace, which is currently on site; and a number of exciting, larger scale commercial and residential projects.
TDO projects feature regularly in the press and the practice was profiled in The Architecture Foundation’s New Architects 3, the definitive survey of Britain’s best emerging architects, published in 2016.
