Architect

Overview
Cohort Design Studio is an architecture and interior design studio based in Pune, working across bespoke residences, villas, farmhouses, and hospitality spaces. We believe in creating spaces that are thoughtful, refined and deeply connected to the people who inhabit them. Our work brings together architecture, interiors, materials, furniture, lighting and landscape to create cohesive experiences. The Role We are looking for a Junior Architect who is passionate about architecture and has a strong interest in interior design and detailing. The ideal candidate will work closely with the principals and project teams across different stages of projects—from design development and drawings to material selections and site coordination. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to grow beyond drafting and develop a strong understanding of how a project is designed and executed. Who Would Fit Well at CDS? Someone who is curious, detail-oriented and design-driven—and wants to understand the complete journey of a project rather than being limited to drafting. If you enjoy looking at architecture, interiors, materials, furniture, lighting and the finer details that make a space feel special, we'd love to meet you. Apply with your CV and portfolio.
