About the role
The Part 2 architectural assistant will be part of Studio Mackereth’s busy team in Shoreditch and working on design-led new-build projects currently in the office. Both projects are in the pre-planning stages and involve the adaptive re-use of existing buildings, together with new construction to form a new house for a private client and a collection of artist’s studios, gallery space and private house respectively.

About us
Studio Mackereth is a London-based practice of architects and designers founded by award winning architect Sally Mackereth. Our varied projects comprise both architecture and interior design, across several sectors including private, speculative residential, luxury retail and commercial projects of various scales for a diverse group of clients around the world.
Since the launch of the studio, we have deliberately widened the parameters of our work. Our success in the discipline of architecture allows us to explore and enjoy the design of other subjects such as our own range of furniture, temporary exhibitions and installations. However, the focus of the studio is still rooted in architectural projects with a clear emphasis on the seamless connection between the details that shape the architecture and the tone of the integral interior spaces formed within.
