ABOUT BASHA-FRANKLIN
Basha-Franklin is a London-based multidisciplinary architecture and interior design studio creating transformative, human-centred spaces that are better for people and the planet.
Our approach brings together architecture, interiors and Workplace Intelligence to connect organisational priorities, culture and user experience with thoughtful design.
Working predominantly across the workplace sector, we combine creative ambition with technical rigour, responsible material choices and careful delivery. We are a collaborative, ambitious and curious team who believe the strongest ideas come from working together and continually learning from one another.
Our five core values shape how we work, collaborate and deliver design:
• We love what we do: bringing passion, ambition and creative energy to every project.
• We go further: creating a positive impact on people, place and the planet.
• We co-create: sharing ideas and valuing different perspectives.
• We tailor-make: developing distinctive solutions shaped by people, context and purpose.
• We talk straight: communicating openly, confidently and constructively.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a technically capable and motivated Mid-Level Architectural Technologist to join our London studio, focusing on commercial workplace interiors and CAT A projects, alongside selected architectural projects.
You will translate design intent into coordinated, buildable solutions, working closely with architects, interior designers, consultants and our technical leadership. Your work will connect interior detailing with the wider building, resolving interfaces between finishes, partitions, ceilings, services and existing construction.
You will own defined technical packages with agreed senior review points and support projects through tender and construction. Overall project direction, technical approval and external issue authorisation remain with the designated project leadership.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Commercial Workplace and CAT A Delivery
• Develop allocated packages for commercial workplace interiors, CAT A fit-outs and office refurbishment and repositioning projects.
• Prepare technical information for office floorplates, reception areas, lift lobbies, shared amenities and associated spaces.
• Translate design concepts and Workplace Intelligence findings into practical solutions that support user needs, design quality and long-term flexibility.
• Understand and record the interfaces between landlord and occupier works, including existing building systems and retained elements.
• Contribute to CAT B fit-outs and architectural refurbishment, retrofit and other building projects as required.
2. Technical Design and Documentation
• Develop defined packages through spatial coordination and technical design, supporting tender and construction activities as required.
• Produce accurate plans, sections, elevations, construction details, schedules and specifications.
• Detail partitions, glazed screens, doors, ceilings, raised access floors, finishes and bespoke joinery, including junctions with existing construction.
• Resolve setting-out, tolerances, material transitions, fixing principles and access requirements while maintaining the agreed design intent.
• Research products and construction systems, obtain technical evidence and identify matters requiring specialist advice.
• Self-check deliverables and follow agreed technical review and approval procedures before external issue.
3. Archicad BIM and Information Management
• Develop and maintain allocated Archicad models and drawing packages in accordance with studio standards.
• Produce coordinated drawings and schedules from the model; maintain consistency between models, drawings, specifications and schedules.
• Coordinate architectural and interior information with structural, building services and specialist models and drawings.
• Identify clashes, missing information and unresolved interfaces, and track agreed actions through to resolution.
• Follow studio naming, revision control, information exchange and document management procedures.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES CONTINUED
4. Project Coordination and Construction Support
• Coordinate allocated technical matters with consultants, suppliers and specialist subcontractors under the project lead’s direction.
• Resolve interfaces with lighting, acoustics, building services and the fire strategy, including ceiling coordination and maintenance access.
• Review survey and existing building information, identifying discrepancies, constraints and matters requiring further investigation.
• Attend coordination meetings and site visits; record observations, decisions and actions clearly.
• Support responses to requests for information and reviews of shop drawings, technical submissions, samples and proposed substitutions.
• Support snagging, handover and record information within the studio’s agreed appointment and scope.
5. Compliance and Responsible Design
• Apply working knowledge of UK Building Regulations, inclusive design, fire safety and CDM designer responsibilities within your competence.
• Support appointed dutyholders through accurate information and clear records; escalate unresolved technical or compliance concerns.
• Consider buildability, durability, maintenance, accessibility and whole-life performance when developing details and specifications.
• Explore retention, reuse and adaptable construction, supporting responsible material selection and recording relevant technical and environmental evidence.
6. Planning and Commercial Awareness
• Plan allocated work against agreed priorities, deadlines and fee allowances, maintaining accurate timesheets and project records.
• Flag missing inputs, resource pressures, scope changes and likely delays promptly to the project lead.
• Assess alternatives against cost, programme, technical performance and design quality, recording implications for senior review.
7. Digital Working and Studio Contribution
• Learn and use approved digital and AI tools, with training, to support research, information management and efficient delivery. Verify outputs before use.
• Protect client confidentiality and intellectual property, and maintain organised, accessible project files.
• Contribute to the studio’s standard details library, templates and technical resources; share practical learning with colleagues.
• Support junior colleagues on allocated tasks and participate in CPD, mentoring and professional development reviews.
