We're Hiring an Interior Designer

We have an immediate opening for an Intermediate or Senior Designer with institutional experience to join our Toronto-based, award-winning architecture and interior design studio. We’re on the lookout for a design-oriented, lead interior designer well versed in delivering projects from start to finish.

Specializing in public facility design, Gow Hastings offers fully integrated, multidisciplinary consulting services in architecture, interior design, and graphic design. We are recognized in particular for design excellence in higher education, and known for our distinct work in the field of food and culinary arts studies. We have several exciting projects currently in development for the Spirit Garden at the City of Toronto Nathan Phillips Square, Holland Bloorview Research Institute, Université de l'Ontario français, Ryerson University Department of Architecture and the Toronto Botanical Gardens.

This is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate! Salary and benefits are competitive, and commensurate with ability and experience. Fun, friendly people; summer hours; beer Fridays; and lots of birthday cakes are some of the highlights of our open work culture. However, we think the best draw is the pretty amazing view of the city from our perch near Casa Loma!
