Part II Urban Designer at Design-Led Architecture Practice

If you are a Part II with a strong interest in masterplanning, planning context and the spaces between buildings, this 6-month FTC offers direct exposure to a significant live regeneration framework. You will be working across written, visual and model-based outputs, helping test, explain and refine proposals that will inform stakeholder engagement and public consultation.

About the Practice

The studio is a highly regarded, design-led architecture and urban design practice with a London base and a strong reputation for complex mixed-use, infrastructure, public realm and regeneration work.

You will join a team working on a major long-term masterplan in North-West England, alongside planning, landscape and wider consultant teams.
