Architect cover letter example
An architect's cover letter introduces your portfolio. Give your registration, two projects with their value and the stages you led, and why this practice's work interests you, then point to the portfolio link.
Fictional letter from Isabel Moreno, the applicant in the architect cv example. Every person and employer in it is invented.
Why each paragraph is there
I am applying for the Project Architect role at Northlight Studio. I am an ARB-registered architect with eight years in practice, five of them since Part 3, working on housing and school projects from £2 million to £14 million.
Registration, years and the scale of your projects.
At Tyne & Ouse Architects I lead a £14 million primary school extension from RIBA Stage 2 to Stage 5, coordinating the engineers and running fortnightly site inspections. Earlier this year I won planning consent for 38 homes on a brownfield site after two public consultation events.
Two projects, the stages you led and one result.
I mentor two Part 1 assistants and review their drawings before issue. Your low-energy school buildings are the kind of work I would most like to lead next.
Mentoring, which a project architect does, and a reason for this practice.
My portfolio is at isabelmoreno.example, and my CV is attached. I would be glad to talk you through the school project at interview. Thank you for considering my application.
