Architect, Architect ​/ Sr. Architect

Licensed Architect (Ultra-Luxury Residential), Miami, FL ($90k-100k plus $10k bonus)

We are a premier luxury real estate development firm specializing in ultra-high-end custom estates in exclusive communities throughout South Florida. Our portfolio includes waterfront mansions, architecturally significant residences, and world-class luxury properties built to the highest standards of craftsmanship and design.

POSITION SUMMARY:

We're hiring a mid-level Licensed Architect to lead the design and execution of custom luxury single-family residences. You'll work directly with principals, clients, consultants, and contractors to produce homes that are architecturally distinctive, technically rigorous, and built to last. This is a hands-on role with significant project ownership - not a production seat.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Lead design across all phases: programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, permitting, bidding, and construction administration

* Develop floor plans, elevations, sections, and detailed construction drawings for custom single-family homes

* Collaborate with structural, MEP, civil, landscape, and interior design consultants to coordinate a complete set of documents

* Manage the permitting process with local jurisdictions, including zoning, HOA, and code review

* Conduct site visits, respond to RFIs, review submittals, and support construction administration through project close-out

* Work directly with the Davco principals to translate vision into buildable design

* Create Moldboard and Interior Design Sets

* Maintain project budgets, schedules, and design quality across multiple concurrent projects

* Stay current on building codes, materials, sustainability practices, and luxury residential trends

QUALIFICATIONS:

* Professional degree in Architecture (B.Arch or M.Arch) from an accredited program

* Knowledge in Interior Design

* Active architectural license in Florida (Texas a plus; willingness to pursue reciprocity required)

* 5-8 years of professional experience, with a meaningful portion focused on custom single-family residential

* Demonstrated portfolio of high-end residential work - ground-up custom homes, ideally in the $3M+ construction cost range

* Proficiency in Revit (required), AutoCAD, Sketch Up, Enscape/Lumion or equivalent rendering tools, and Adobe Creative Suite

* Deep working knowledge of the Florida Building Code, including high-velocity hurricane zone requirements where applicable

* Strong detailing skills and a refined design sensibility - clients will see the work

* Excellent communication skills; comfortable presenting to sophisticated clients and managing consultants

* Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing design quality or schedule control

NICE TO HAVE:

* Experience with coastal construction, waterfront properties, or hurricane-resilient design

* Familiarity with traditional, transitional, and contemporary architectural vocabularies (clients vary)

* LEED AP or other sustainability credentials

* Relationships with South Florida contractors, consultants, and municipal officials

* Experience working in an owner/developer environment rather than a pure service firm

WHAT WE OFFER:

* Competitive base salary commensurate with experience

* Performance bonus tied to project delivery and design quality

* Direct exposure to principals and meaningful design ownership - your work, your name on it

* A pipeline of well-capitalized projects with clients who care about design
