Description
Unhappy working for a large firm and looking for a change? We are a small practice engaged in urban infill design of varying types and sizes, mostly in San Francisco. Everyone who works in our light-filled studio is exposed to the various phases of design and construction. Currently on the boards are projects ranging from adaptive re-use of large industrial buildings to repurposing of shipping containers.
We have an academic side as well – firm principal Charles Bloszies is the author of an influential book on the art of transforming old structures into new buildings, published by Princeton Architectural Press, and is working on a second book entitled The Sustainable Building Artistically Considered.
We are seeking a well-educated, detail-oriented person to join our team; someone with interest in all facets of the architectural profession

Creative work environment in recently renovated space
Room for professional growth
Support for licensure
