Our work is rooted in teamwork, attention to detail, accountability, humble expertise, and skilled creativity - and we’re passionate about delivering thoughtful residential design while continuing to grow and evolve as a team.
We’re now looking to add an Architectural Designer to our growing team.
What you’ll be doing:

- Translate client needs into complete residential design solutions ready for technical development
- Maintain clear, professional communication with clients, consultants, and internal team members
- Design Development & Documentation
- Produce thoughtful and well-resolved residential design concepts including floor plans, elevations, and overall layouts
- Ensure design quality, flow, proportion, and usability are consistently strong across all projects
- Collaborate with our internal team to transition design concepts into full construction documentation
- Apply internal design standards and continuously contribute to improving design quality and consistency
- Site & Bylaw Integration
- Incorporate site conditions, orientation, grading, views, and access into design concepts
- Conduct bylaw and zoning research to support design direction
- Identify potential site or regulatory challenges early and communicate them proactively
- Ensure designs are compliant with municipal requirements and site constraints

- Has strong communication skills and a professional, consultative approach

- Experience with builders, estimating, project coordination, or project management is an asset
We value strong communication, responsiveness, and the ability to work effectively within a collaborative design environment regardless of location. We’re open to remote candidates, or hybrid arrangements if you’re the right person for our team!
