Architectural Designer

About us:

Dextrus’ are workspaces, with the single intent: “create the right work environment to enable companies and professionals to be the best at what they do”. We take the design of our workspaces very seriously as we design and build them ourselves. ‘Work the way you want’ is our motto, and our design creates spaces that echo the same. The way you design has the power to enable community engagement, create effective work habits, and streamline operational efficiencies. This intent in the end helps give the workspace a sense of prestige and makes it an address on the map of the city. We have multiple centers in Mumbai and as we look to grow we are looking for professionals who echo our sentiment for great design and great service. Our alternative design practice, BUILDbyDextrus, innovates in various phases of design & construction. At BUILD you will have the opportunity to learn how design impacts business and business impacts design as that brings unrealized synergies to the creative process. Dextrus Workspaces provides us the lens and opportunity to experiment, apply the above principles and above all else to innovate in all phases of design.
