6Hues Architecture Studio
Kolkata
Read this first if you are in Guwahati or Kolkata (or anywhere else in Assam, Bihar, Sikkim, or West Bengal):
- You already know what the Guwahati or Kolkata market offers an architect four to seven years in._
- You can draw GFC drawings at a residential or interiors firm for ₹25,000 a month. You can do CAD for American clients. Or you can get hired by a real estate company, which means you stop designing and become a coordinator._
- We are offering the option that isn't on that list: your own projects, designed and detailed and built, in a studio whose work is luxury hospitality and high-end residential._
- The catch is that you would have to move to Siliguri._
- About Us
6Hues Architecture Studio is a luxury architecture and interior design studio, fourteen years old, working across North Bengal, Sikkim, and parts of Bihar and Assam. What is on the boards right now:
- A 50-key Wyndham-branded hotel in Siliguri
- A premium 60-bedroom property in Pelling, Sikkim
- Hospitality and office design for multiple developer clients
- Luxury private residences and interiors across the region
Responsibilities
- Complete project ownership: Design development through to working drawings and site coordination, on the projects assigned to you
- Client interactions: Your own client presentations, once you are ready for them, and the questions that come with them
- Site Visits: In Siliguri, and across Assam, North Bengal and Sikkim. Expect to be out of the studio a few days most months
You would report to our Head of Architecture & Design, alongside a design team of 10+ people.
Qualifications
- 5-10 years in the practice of interior design,
on projects that got built
- Evidence that you have carried a project rather than a sheet — we will ask exactly which decisions were yours
- Comfortable being the last check before a drawing goes to site — owning whether it's right, not just whether it's done on time
- You want your name attached to a building people can walk into, not a folder of revisions nobody remembers who did
- Hospitality or high-end residential experience is an advantage, not a requirement. Ambition about the work is the requirement
- Someone who finishes to a high standard and holds it when the deadline gets close
- Someone who raises the problem early instead of being asked about it late
Hindi and Bengali both work here; Nepali is useful. English for documentation.
Compensation
- We pay for real ownership, not hours spent, and we are competitive with what genuine design-ownership work commands.
- We can go well beyond the posted starting figure for the right portfolio. If you are the right person for the job, we would like to have a conversation about what you want.
- Performance bonuses tied to project performance and studio results
What we also offer
- 30 days of paid leave a year, including national and regional holidays, so getting back to your hometown is straightforward
- Relocation support, including help finding housing and settling in
- We will help your family land—schools, and introductions for a spouse who needs to find work. Ask us about this at interview; we mean it
- Leave encashment
- Internet and phone reimbursement
- A large studio centrally located in Siliguri with a young, genuinely good design team
Let us know if you need help with anything else.

It is a real working city — the commercial hub of the whole region and the gateway to Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Sikkim and the Dooars — and plenty of people who move here for two years stay for ten.
