Job description for INTERIOR DESIGN at District Eight
1. Interior Project Design & Delivery — approx. 35%
- Take briefs from clients and internal stakeholders and translate them into spatial concepts, layouts, material palettes and lighting intent for residential, commercial, hospitality and workplace projects.
- Develop schemes through concept, design development and technical documentation, resolving circulation, ergonomics, storage, servicing and buildability as you go.
- Prepare and present client-facing packages: mood and material direction, plans, 3D visualisation and product specification, at a standard fit for external presentation.
- Manage the design programme for your projects — deliverable dates, revision control, and the design decisions each stage requires from the client.
- Attend site through construction: setting out, mock-up and sample approvals, snagging and close-out.
2. Brand Environments & Dealer Showrooms — approx. 30%
- Design dealer, distributor and partner showroom spaces strictly in accordance with the District Eight brand guide — layout zoning, product adjacency, materials, lighting, signage and display logic.
- Produce dealer-ready layout and installation packages that a third party can execute in another market without our physical presence, and review their execution against the guide before sign-off.
- Support the design and technical documentation of our own showrooms, including the planned Milan and Hà Nội spaces, and of trade fair stands and brand installations.
- Maintain and evolve the spatial standards behind the brand guide — display modules, plinths, shelving systems, fixture families, finish and lighting specifications — so that brand environments become repeatable rather than reinvented each time.
- Act as a practical guardian of brand consistency in space: flag where a partner's proposal dilutes the brand, and propose a workable alternative rather than a refusal.
3. Technical Documentation & Production Handover — approx. 25%
- Produce complete, coordinated construction documentation: dimensioned plans, RCPs, elevations, sections, joinery and millwork details, fixing and junction details, finish schedules and door/hardware schedules.
- Own the handover into Maker Sixty Four production for bespoke and brand-environment elements — buildable detailing, achievable tolerances, material feasibility, finishing method and packing and installation considerations agreed with the factory before release.
- Coordinate with contractors, joiners, lighting suppliers and MEP trades; issue and track RFIs, revisions and as-built updates.
- Maintain a disciplined drawing standard — consistent title blocks, layering, naming, revision clouds and issue registers — so that any project can be picked up by another person without archaeology.
- Build and maintain a reusable library of details, standard fixtures and specification templates.
4. Commercial & Specification Support — approx. 10%
- Support the account and business development team with space planning, layouts and visualisation that help clients, dealers and specifiers place District Eight and Root and Branch product in real space.
- Specify our own product first where it genuinely fits the brief, and be candid where it does not — credibility with specifiers is worth more than a forced specification.
- Feed observations from projects and showroom floors back to product development: what sells, what fails on site, what dimension or finish gap keeps costing us specifications.
- Contribute to project cost awareness — flag where a design decision materially moves cost, before it is issued rather than after.
