Job Description

We are seeking a highly organized and detail-driven Project Architect to lead the development of construction documents across a range of residential and light commercial projects. This role is ideal for an architect who genuinely loves the craft of drawing — someone who finds deep satisfaction in the precision of detailing, the choreography of consultant coordination, and the integrity of producing a set that is clear, elegant, buildable, and code-compliant.

This position typically involves managing 2 to 3 projects simultaneously, including custom homes, remodels and additions, restaurant tenant improvements, and miscellaneous drafting or systems-development tasks. The ideal candidate thrives in both design-sensitive and technically demanding environments and takes pride in transforming strong design concepts into beautifully resolved construction documents.

Key Responsibilities

Construction Document Production

• Lead the production and coordination of full construction document sets for 2 to 3 active projects simultaneously

• Develop floor plans, roof plans, elevations, sections, details, and schedules from design models and redlines

• Translate Revit-based design information into highly organized, code-compliant drawing sets

• Ensure drawings clearly communicate design intent, constructability, and sequencing to contractors and consultants

• Prepare drawing sets for city plan check, permit submission, and contractor pricing

• Verify compliance with applicable residential and commercial building codes and local jurisdiction requirements

Consultant Coordination

• Coordinate architectural drawings with structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical consultants throughout all project phases

• Update architectural plans, sections, and details as consultant drawings evolve

• Integrate structural framing — including beams, posts, headers, hold-downs, steel framing, and cantilevers — into architectural sections and wall details for accurate field execution

• Proactively identify and resolve consultant conflicts before they reach the field

Technical Detailing

• Produce clear and technically rigorous detailing for light wood-frame residential construction

• Detail steel framing at large spans, cantilevers, and hillside conditions

• Develop construction details for light gauge steel commercial tenant improvements

• Support restaurant tenant improvement projects including interior layouts and limited exterior modifications

Office Standards & Workflow Development

• Contribute to the studio's architectural detail library by organizing and expanding reusable content

• Create AutoCAD and Revit templates for various project types to improve consistency and speed

• Improve documentation workflows and drawing standards across the studio

• Assist with miscellaneous drafting and technical problem-solving as needed

Project Types

• High-end custom homes

• Residential remodels and additions

• Hillside and complex light wood-frame structures

• Steel-supported cantilevers and long-span features

• Restaurant tenant improvements

• Miscellaneous drafting and technical systems work

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong proficiency in AutoCAD — this is the studio's primary production platform

• Working knowledge of Revit for reading and translating design information into production documents

• Demonstrated experience producing permit-ready and construction document sets

• Deep understanding of light wood-frame construction, building sections, and wall assemblies

• Experience detailing light gauge steel framing and structural integration

• Solid working knowledge of residential and commercial building codes and local jurisdiction requirements

• Proven ability to read, interpret, and coordinate structural, MEP, and consultant drawings

• Excellent organization, file management, and drawing standards discipline

• Experience with custom residential projects and/or restaurant tenant improvements preferred

Ideal Candidate Qualities

• Loves the art and discipline of architectural detailing — this is not a background task, it is the heart of the work

• Finds genuine satisfaction in assembling drawing sets that are both technically rigorous and visually clear

• Thinks deeply about how a building actually goes together from structure to finish

• Cares equally about beauty, buildability, and code compliance

• Highly organized and able to track multiple moving parts across several concurrent projects

• Proactive in consultant coordination and capable of catching conflicts before they become field problems

• Enjoys building systems, templates, and libraries that make the whole studio better over time

• Strong communicator with contractors, consultants, and internal design teams

• Takes ownership and pride in producing documents that reduce RFIs and field ambiguity
