Viewed 0 times

Job Description

If you’re a purpose driven architect who thrives on taking meaningful institutional projects from vision to reality and you’re looking for a collaborative, values-led team where your expertise has real impact—read on.

We’re a globally recognized design practice based in Toronto, working on projects across Canada and around the world. We specialize in architecture that contributes to human flourishing, with a design methodology rooted in inquiry, research, and true collaboration.

We’re seeking a Senior Architect or Project Architect to join our studio and take a lead role on major institutional projects, including schools, cultural spaces, and international work. You’ll guide projects from Design Development through Construction Administration, contribute to the evolution of our BIM and technical standards, and play a vital role in shaping built environments that elevate well-being.

We don’t just design buildings—we co-create environments that are deeply aligned with the goals and values of the people they serve. Our participant-centred, co-creation process embeds clients into the design journey through immersive, experiential workshops and critical inquiry. Criteria for success are jointly defined, and decisions are made transparently and intentionally.

Our current projects include a growing portfolio of new independent school projects (each ~$10M construction budget) as well as local and international healthcare and institutional projects where we lead complex teams in delivering innovative, human-centred design solutions

You are:

  • A licensed Architect (or eligible for OAA) or senior technologist with 10+ years of experience
  • Experienced in delivering institutional projects from drawing set to site
  • Technically strong, with excellent working knowledge of OBC, consultant coordination, and CA
  • A Revit/BIM pro, and eager to help refine studio standards
  • Self-motivated, grounded, and collaborative—you take ownership, but value team input
  • Excited by a purpose-driven studio and open, inclusive design process

What You’ll Find Here:

  • A practice rooted in critical thinking, global leadership, and salutogenic design
  • Decades of experience delivering projects worldwide, with over $3B in built work
  • A studio culture that blends rigour and heart—where design excellence and team well-being go hand in hand
  • An opportunity to help shape our next chapter of growth, leadership, and impact

If you’re ready to bring your expertise to a studio where architecture is about meaning as much as form, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re passionate about construction delivery, institutional design, or simply want your work to matter, this is a role where you can grow, contribute, and lead.
