HOW WILL YOU MAKE AN IMPACT?
A learning opportunity at the intersection of architecture, design, craftsmanship and luxury.
We are looking for a motivated architecture student to join our team and discover the world of luxury Retail Design and Architecture from the inside.
Working on Boutique design projects is a unique way to understand how architecture can translate a brand’s identity into a physical experience. Every element matters: the proportions of a space, the circulation, the light, the materials, the detailing, the relationship between architecture and product, and even the smallest junction between two finishes.
- You will have the opportunity to be involved in different stages of the boutique design process, from concept development and spatial design to materials, technical drawings, 3D studies, presentations and project development.
- You will learn how an initial creative idea evolves into a real space — and how architecture, design, engineering, craftsmanship and construction come together to make it possible.
- You are curious, enthusiastic and eager to learn — someone who enjoys discovering new materials, exploring ideas, drawing, designing and understanding how spaces are built.
- Previous experience in retail design is not required. What matters most is your motivation, sensitivity to design and willingness to participate and grow.
This internship is an opportunity to learn from real projects, work alongside experienced designers and architects, and develop a deeper understanding of what it means to transform a creative idea into a carefully crafted environment.
