ABOUT THE UNIT
The Unit is IDEASHACKS flagship coworking space in Faridabad. It is a place built around a specific belief: that the physical environment around a business is never just infrastructure. It is the first thing people feel before they form an opinion. As we reshape the identity of The Unit, we want to work with someone who brings that same seriousness to a facade. Not as a surface to finish, but as a statement to make.
THE ENGAGEMENT
This is a turn-key consulting role. The selected Architect will carry the project from the initial brief through to completed execution, working directly with the founder and the operations team. We have a clear brand story and a clear point of view. What we need is someone with the craft to translate that into material and form, and the flexibility to serve that story rather than overlay a personal signature on top of it.
SCOPE OF WORK
- Site assessment, structural review, and documentation of existing conditions.
- Concept development including mood boards, material palette, and a minimum of two design directions for discussion.
- Vastu-compliant design integrated with the spatial orientation of the site.
- Detailed working drawings and full specifications ready for execution.
- Vendor coordination, material sourcing, and quality checks through the build.
- On-site supervision from start of work through handover.
- Post-completion snagging and final sign-off.
WHAT WE NEED
Structural and Technical Competence
- Solid working knowledge of facade structural systems, covering load considerations, material behaviour, fixing methods, and safety compliance.
- Hands-on experience with RCC, metal cladding, glass, stone, and composite facade materials.
- Comfortable reading and producing structural drawings in coordination with civil consultants on site.
Vastu Knowledge
- Practical understanding of Vastu Shastra as applied to commercial facades, specifically entrance orientation, elemental alignment, and spatial proportion.
- The ability to incorporate Vastu principles without compromising the design intent.
Execution Experience
- A track record of turn-key facade projects you can walk us through, with verifiable references from start to handover.
- Good working knowledge of vendors and suppliers in the Delhi NCR and Faridabad market.
- Strong discipline on site, covering timelines, material delivery, and contractor coordination.
Design Range
- Comfort working across styles, whether contemporary, industrial, neo-traditional, or minimal, without defaulting to what you default to on every project.
- A portfolio that demonstrates real range across different typologies and client contexts.
Process and Collaboration
- A clear, documented process you can walk us through: from brief to concept to drawings to execution to handover.
- Transparent communication throughout. We do not want surprises at the build stage.
- Genuine interest in understanding the IDEASHACKS brand before you pick up a pencil.
- Comfort working with a founder-led team that holds aesthetic rigour and functional performance to the same standard.
COMPENSATION
Consulting Fee
₹80,000 + GST. This covers design through completed execution.
Payment Schedule
To be agreed on confirmation of engagement.
Materials and Execution
Passed through at actuals and not included in the consulting fee.
TIMELINE
We want to move now. The right person will be able to visit the site in the first week and come back with initial concept directions within two weeks of that visit. If you need longer to get started, this is probably not the right fit for either side.
HOW TO APPLY
Send us the following. Applications without portfolio samples will not progress.
- A short note on who you are and how you approach a turn-key facade project.
- Portfolio covering at minimum three completed facade projects, with before and after documentation.
- Two verifiable client references we can actually contact.
- Your current availability and any active project commitments.
