Are you a talented, licensed architect who thrives in the early, creative stages of design? Do you enjoy taking a site and a vision and transforming them into an innovative, compelling architectural concept?

Archipro is recruiting a Senior Architect – Conceptual Design & Development at a vertically integrated real estate development, architecture, and planning organization.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced architect passionate about
programming, conceptual design, schematic design, and design development, and who wantsa more influential role in how projects are envisioned, planned, and developed.

Working directly with the company’s Founder and President, you will help shape significant multifamily, mixed-use, senior living, student housing, and medical office developments, with projects frequently valued between $80 million and $110 million.

Unlike a traditional Senior Project Architect role, this position focuses primarily on the
creative,
strategic front end of architecture rather than construction documentation. You’ll have the opportunity to explore design possibilities, influence major project decisions, and gain firsthand exposure to the real estate development process.

• Lead programming, conceptual design, schematic design, and design development for large-scale real estate projects.
• Evaluate development sites, explore design alternatives, and create innovative architectural concepts that respond to project goals.
• Develop site plans, building concepts, massing studies, and 3D visualizations.
• Explore density, building configurations, and design solutions that balance creativity, functionality, marketability, and financial feasibility.
• Collaborate directly with the Founder and President to establish project vision and design direction.
• Work closely with development, planning, and outside architectural partners throughout the design process.
• Contribute to discussions involving zoning, entitlements, site feasibility, and development strategy.
• Utilize Revit, CAD, 3D modeling, AI, and emerging design technologies to accelerate concept exploration and communicate design intent.
• Coordinate with outside architectural firms responsible for later-stage construction documentation.

We seek a creative, technically knowledgeable, entrepreneurial architect who can think quickly, generate strong design ideas, and confidently communicate a vision.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture.
• Current architectural registration/licensure.
• Significant architectural design experience, ideally 10+ years, with a strong portfolio demonstrating design leadership.
• Experience designing multifamily and/or mixed-use developments.
• Exceptional conceptual design, schematic design, and design development capabilities.
• Strong site planning, spatial design, and 3D visualization skills.
• Proficiency in Revit, CAD, and relevant architectural modeling and visualization software.
• Familiarity with AI and emerging architectural technologies and an interest in incorporating them into the design process.
• Understanding of how architectural design decisions influence density, project feasibility, and development objectives.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and presentation skills.
• Ability to develop and evaluate multiple design concepts efficiently.
