Job description

About the studio

Next Space Design Studio is an architecture, interior and PMC practice based in Calicut, founded in 2020. We work across residential, commercial and healthcare projects throughout India, with a strong base of NRI and discerning residential clients.

What sets us apart is depth of spatial planning — designing for how a space actually functions, down to the smallest piece of furniture — combined with an engineering-led ability to deliver project management Our ethos: Synchronizing Life with Space.

We are a team of eight. There is no layer between you and the Principal Designer, which means your work is reviewed directly, and it is also visible directly.

About the role

You will be the assigned design lead on your projects, owning the interiors from the first mood board to the drawings a carpenter builds from. You will work alongside the architecture team, the Estimation & Planning Engineer and the Project Manager, and you will stay with each project through to handover.

This is a studio-based role. Site exposure happens at specific stages; day-to-day progress reaches you through documented site reports and photographs from the project team.

What you will do

- Develop interior design concepts and mood boards — themes, colour palettes, materials — and present them to clients alongside the Principal Designer
- Produce interior 3D renders in phased delivery, incorporating client feedback and documenting every revision
- Prepare execution-ready interior drawings: furniture layouts, false ceiling details, cabinetry, wardrobe and finish detailing




- Guide clients through material, finish and furnishing selections
- Coordinate specification and selection lists with the Estimation & Planning Engineer
- Respond to drawing queries from vendors, contractors and the site team, and support design-intent checks during execution
- Maintain drawing standards, revision control and project documentation
- Compile the design handover package at project completion

What we are looking for

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Interior Design or Architecture
- Minimum1+ years of professional experience in an interior or architectural practice
- Proficiency in SketchUp, AutoCAD and D5 Render; Photoshop for post-production
- Detail drawings a carpenter can build from, without needing a phone call
- Ability to present and explain a design to a client clearly
- Working knowledge of materials, finishes and joinery practice
- Comfortable working to committed delivery dates in a multi-project studio

A plus, not a requirement

- AI tools already integrated into your design or documentation workflow
- Experience with NRI or remote clients
- Exposure to BOQ and specification processes

What we offer

- Ownership of projects from concept to handover — you are not handed a fragment of someone else’s design
- Direct mentorship from the Principal Designer on every deliverable
- Projects with genuine detailing budgets and clients who care about the outcome
- Monday to Saturday, 9.30 am to 6.00 pm, Sunday off
- Two paid leaves per month plus 14 annual festival and public holidays
