We believe that a thoughtfully designed and finely crafted personal space is not just an expression of aesthetic sensibility, it enhances function and restores well-being, clarity, and harmony. Our projects celebrate the textural richness of California's most spectacular settings and we are committed to site-specific, modern, and highly crafted architecture that integrates seamlessly with the landscape.

  6. Conduct research on building codes, zoning regulations, materials, and sustainable design practices
  7. Attend site visits and provide in-field support during construction phases
  8. Work closely with cross-functional teams to meet aggressive project deadlines
  9. Contribute creative design concepts and problem-solving approaches to project challenges

  • Strong technical drawing and detailing skills
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative team
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Strong organizational and time-management abilities
  • Interest in materiality, craftsmanship, and the integration of architecture with its environment

  • Generous vacation and holidays
  • Professional development support 
  • Hybrid flexibility with collaborative in-office culture
