$115000 - $125000 per year | Missoula, MT | On-site | Permanent

We are a design-forward custom residential architecture and planning studio specializing in luxury homes throughout the Mountain West. Our work is highly site-specific and deeply considered, blending architectural vision with construction intelligence.

Our team integrates architecture, interiors, engineering coordination, and visualization into a streamlined process that allows clients to fully understand their homes long before construction begins. We value buildable design, clear communication, and long-term relationships — with both clients and collaborators.

This is an opportunity to work on fewer, better projects — not high volume, not speculative, and not production-driven. The firm designs and delivers $10–25MM fully custom homes, where architectural intent, structural logic, and buildability are aligned from day one.

You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, exposed to the full lifecycle of a project, and supported by leadership that values clear thinking, strong coordination, and elegant solutions over flash.

For the right person, this role offers:

• Meaningful design ownership
• Close collaboration with builders and engineers
• A high level of craft and technical rigor
• A very strong compensation package reflective of experience
• The chance to build a long-term career in Missoula, Montana

We are seeking an Architect or Senior Architectural Designer to join our Missoula-based team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a custom residential environment, is fluent in Revit, and brings strong structural awareness to their design work.

You will play a key role in developing and delivering complex custom homes, coordinating closely with structural engineers, consultants, and builders throughout the design process.

• Lead and contribute to projects through Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documents
• Develop and maintain high-quality Revit models and drawing sets
• Coordinate architectural intent with structural, civil, and MEP consultants
• Apply strong structural understanding to inform layout, spans, systems, and constructability
• Collaborate closely with builders to ensure designs are practical, efficient, and buildable
• Participate in client presentations and design discussions
• Maintain a high level of technical accuracy and attention to detail

• Registered Architects (RA / NCARB) with custom residential experience
• Senior Architectural Designers with deep technical capability and Revit mastery
• Designers who enjoy thinking through structure, not just aesthetics
• Candidates coming from high-end residential firms, design-build environments, boutique architecture studios with complex custom work

Local candidates in Missoula are strongly preferred, but relocation is considered for exceptional candidates who are aligned with the lifestyle and long-term opportunity.

• Advanced proficiency in Revit
• Experience delivering detailed construction document sets
• Strong understanding of structural systems and coordination
• Experience working on custom residential projects
• Ability to collaborate across disciplines
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
