Description
We are a design-forward, construction-driven architecture studio primarily working on high-end interior renovations in New York City. Our work is focused on full interior gut renovations of single-family apartments, often in complex pre-war buildings requiring innovative design solutions and smart project management strategies. We sit at the critical intersection of design, engineering, and execution— design ideas are only as strong as their ability to be built.
Clients repeatedly refer and recommend us because we deliver a more integrated experience across design, documentation, and construction, with a strong emphasis on constructability, coordination, and client clarity. This white-glove experience lowers client stress and speeds up construction while lowering budgets. Every project is an opportunity to push materials, rethink systems, and refine how buildings are put together.
We are a small, high-standard team, where everyone contributes meaningfully.
We are looking for an Architectural Designer II who can operate with independence, think ahead, and contribute to both project execution and the growth of the company. Our internal standards are strong and we need someone who can produce and push the envelope.
The ideal candidate will have experienced how larger firms operate, and wants take best-practices to a growing company where they can apply learnings to have a real impact. You will be part of building something, not just working within it.
