Leonard Design Architects strives to create the most comfortable, creative and inspiring environment for staff.

It aims to encourage interaction, collaboration, the sharing of ideas and problem solving. Working relationships are reinforced through hosting activities outside the office, such as away-days, social events and personal celebrations.

The firm is home to internationally recognised architects and designers, who deliver award-winning new-build, mixed-use regeneration schemes, bespoke interiors and strategic retail projects.

Its dynamic studio works with some of the most progressive developers, funds, entrepreneurs, councils and individuals, in addition to new retail and leisure brands. Together, they help to shape the futures of towns and cities and influence future trends.

Leonard Design has a wealth of experience in completing large, international projects that combine retail, residential and business requirements. It is adept at navigating the complexities of these schemes, ensuring that practical and deliverable projects are put forward.

The company, which has worked in more than 30 countries, has five design studios in the UK, Australia, Germany and Kuala Lumpur, with about 60 architects and designers. Its culture can be summarised as: "we care", "collective creativity" and "responsible by design".

It says: "Our shared culture and passion for design makes us more than colleagues. We are friends, collaboratively exploring our passions."

All staff are encouraged to find areas of interest and specialism that can be supported through training.
