High-profile and well-published architecture and interior design firm is looking to add more architects to its team. The office is run as a small distinctive studio whose work is sought after by an exclusive client list. The environment is stylish, in a Chelsea loft space with incredible views over the city.

Candidates must have a degree in architecture, at least 3 - 7 years of experience in a high end architectural office, and a strong desire to work on some of the most interesting and prestigious residential projects being built today. The approach is classic but the interpretation is clean, spare and directed towards a modern lifestyle.

Typically the architects are involved in all aspects of their projects. This encompasses all stages of schematic design, design development, construction documentation, project management and client relations. In this environment, the architects often develop meaningful relationships with clients through multiple projects. In addition, there is an in-house ethic of collaboration between the architects, principles and interior designers that is critical to the daily energy of the firm and subsequently the beauty of the completed residences.

We offer good benefits and a competitive salary commensurate to each candidate’s experience. As importantly, we offer an exciting office environment and opportunities to match your potential.
