Project Architect ​/ Architectural Designer III

About the Firm

Morris Adjmi Architects (MA) is an award-winning multidisciplinary design firm offering a comprehensive approach to planning, architecture, interior design, and art. Guided by a passion for placemaking, we’ve designed over 27 million square feet of built space in more than 25 cities throughout the U.S. and abroad. Our portfolio spans residential, hospitality, commercial, arts & culture, and institutional markets, with expertise in adaptive reuse, new construction, entitlement and zoning support, urban planning, interiors, and art services.

Our architecture practice is shaped by MA’s Conversation-Driven Design Ethos, rooted in dialogue and collaboration. We believe the most meaningful buildings emerge through an exploration of context, balanced composition, and creative vision, blending tradition with innovation. This ethos drives us to create architecture that is timeless yet contemporary, grounded in rigorous detailing and sustainable technologies. By combining design sensitivity with technical precision, we craft buildings that stand out by fitting in—structures that enrich communities, endure over time, and tell a story.

We're seeking experienced architects who are passionate about design excellence and technical leadership. You thrive on bringing ambitious ideas to life while guiding project teams through every phase of design and construction. You communicate confidently with clients, consultants, and contractors, balancing creativity with execution to ensure projects are delivered thoughtfully and efficiently.

You are a collaborative leader who enjoys mentoring emerging professionals, solving complex technical challenges, and maintaining the highest standards of quality. Most importantly, you embody MA's collaborative culture by approaching every project with curiosity, accountability, and a commitment to creating meaningful places.
