Kia Designs is a residential interior design studio. We've been doing this for 18 years, across more than 200 projects, mostly whole-home renovations where the layout changes as much as the finishes. We're a team of six, and we won Ultimate Luxury Kitchen Design of the Year at the Designer Kitchen & Bathroom Awards in 2018.
We're looking for a junior designer who is comfortable on both sides of a project: the drawings that get the walls in the right place, and the interiors work that makes the room worth living in.
What you'll do
- Measured surveys and drawing up existing plans
- Proposed plans, elevations and sections
- Drawing packages to support planning and building regulations applications
- Joinery and kitchen detailing
- Working with structural engineers and contractors on drawing queries
- Working on planning applications and heritage properties
Interiors side
- Sourcing, samples and supplier contact
- FF&E schedules and specifications
- Mood boards and client presentation packs
- Site visits, snagging and keeping the project file up to date
What we're looking for
- 3+ years' experience, or a very strong graduate portfolio
- Proficient in Vectorworks. This is essential, as all our drawing work is done in it.
- Neat, organised drawing work. You check your own dimensions.
- Comfortable talking to contractors as well as clients
- Interested in how a project actually runs, not just how it looks at the end
What you get
- The studio also closes over Christmas, on top of your 25 days
- Four days a week in the studio at London Bridge, one day working from home
