Interior Architect

ABOUT THE ROLE

Dreamlab is a hospitality development company building a pipeline of 17+ new sites across

the UK and US over the next 18 months. We create and operate restaurants, bars and multi-

concept venues, from neighbourhood rotisseries to Michelin-level dining.

We are hiring an Interior Architect to join our in-house design and architecture team. You will

work directly with our interior designer and Creative Director of Design, translating approved

visual concepts into practical, buildable spaces. This is a broad and fast-moving role across

a large pipeline, no two projects are the same.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Develop floor plans and spatial layouts from approved interior design concepts, working closely with the interior designer throughout
• Produce full technical drawing packages, elevations, sections, coordination, builder drawings, furniture drawings and compliance documentation
• Apply branding and design elements to technical drawings in collaboration with the brand team
• Manage the architectural delivery of multiple projects simultaneously across the UK pipeline
• Liaise with contractors, specialist consultants and project managers during the build phase
• Attend site visits and oversee the install of finishes against the FF&E schedule
• Support snagging and handover processes through to opening
• Work within defined timelines and budgets, flagging risks early

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Strong experience in hospitality design
• Ability to audit/build plans in line with building control and legislation
• Strong technical drawing skills, confident producing full packages in AutoCAD or equivalent
• Comfortable working on multiple live projects at pace and adapting quickly when briefs evolve
• Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture. You can hold the practical and the aesthetic at the same time
• Experience working directly with interior designers and contractors, not just in isolation
• Excellent communication; clear, direct, and responsive
• Revit, Vectorworks or SketchUp experience alongside AutoCAD

USEFUL BUT NOT ESSENTIAL

• Experience in listed buildings, basement works or complex planning environments
• Familiarity with US building codes and permitting processes
• An eye for design; you understand what makes a room work as well as what makes it feel right

WHAT WE OFFER

• £50,000 – £70,000 depending on experience
• A genuinely varied pipeline; you will work across new builds, refurbishments, listed
• buildings and multi-concept sites from day one
• Direct exposure to the full process, from approved concept through to opening night
• A small, senior team; you will have real responsibility and real influence over the work
• London-based with no travel requirement
