Chris Foley Architects is small but effective team based in Hackney, London. We work across a range of scales from small domestic interventions to whole house refurbishments, new build houses and smaller residential developments. We enjoy the craft of making and seek to build projects that stand the test of time.

Being a small practice, you will be working alongside the director across all project stages from brief development through to construction and handover on the full range of projects. The variety of project types, planning and technical requirements and the on-site construction experience within the practice offers an excellent opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the practicalities of architecture, building and building contracts. We also offer support to candidates looking to develop towards their Part 3 qualification including extensive involvement in suitable case study projects, mentoring support and study days.
Key attributes for the role:
- minimum one year of post-Part 2 experience
- strong graphic sensibilities
- a good understanding of detailed design
- an understanding and interest in the principles of sustainable design
- experience in Vectorworks, SketchUp, V-Ray and Adobe Creative Suite software
