Founded in 2023, our in‑house architectural firm, Utopia Design, is at the heart of our mission to create a global portfolio of luxurious, high‑end hospitality destinations.

We’re a young, ambitious team driven by creativity, excellence, and the belief that great design transforms the way people live, travel, and connect. From concept to completion, we’re reimagining what luxury means in today’s world — and we’re just getting started.

Technical Architect

We are looking for a technically strong and detail‑oriented architect to join our design team within the real estate development business, focusing on boutique hospitality assets.

In this role, you will be responsible for translating the design intent into fully coordinated, precise, and buildable documentation. You will work across all design stages with a focus on technical development – from RIBA Stage 3 through construction, ensuring that the project’s quality, constructability, and coordination are preserved throughout.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Work on a variety of high‑end hospitality projects, focusing on technical development, spatial coordination, and construction‑level detailing.
• Translate concept and schematic designs into coordinated, buildable Revit models and documentation packages across RIBA Stages 3–5.
• Develop precise technical layouts, assemblies, and details in Revit, ensuring consistency with design intent, constructability, and regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate architectural models with structural, MEP, and interior design inputs using BIM workflows and Navisworks.
• Review, resolve, and prevent coordination issues across disciplines; propose feasible, well‑integrated technical solutions.
• Build and manage project typologies, families, and detail libraries to support efficient design development and standardization.
• Support tender and construction documentation preparation, ensuring alignment with specifications, codes, and local regulations.
• Assist in the development of project‑specific systems and façade/roof/technical typologies based on construction logic and material performance.
• Provide quality control on Revit models and documentation across the team; conduct technical reviews and flag risks early.
• Collaborate with the procurement team on technical inputs related to material quantities, specifications, and product compatibility.
• Stay up to date with building systems, construction methods, and BIM automation tools; research and implement best practices in technical design.
• Supervise and guide BIM modelers and junior technical staff; support project‑wide technical workflows and standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Architecture.
• 5 to 10 years of experience in architectural design.
• Experience working on low‑rise residential and hospitality projects – private homes, villas, hotels, and resorts.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
• Professional‑level English, both written and verbal.
• Portfolio is a must.

Qualifications & Technical Skills

• Highly proficient in Revit, including parametric families, freeform and terrain modeling.
• Strong BIM coordination experience; solid understanding of construction methodologies, materials, detailing, and multidisciplinary integration.
• Experience with Navisworks required; Rhino, AutoCAD, and Enscape are a plus.
• Independence, analytical mindset, proactive problem‑solving, and the ability to deliver high‑quality, buildable design packages consistently.
• Fluency in English essential.
