Design Intern: Hands-On Architecture in Historic Homes

Harvest Architecture is a residential design studio dedicated to the evolution of architecture through time. Our work has long focused on historic homes, mixing old with new in creative ways while respecting the integrity of the original structure.

In response to Southern California's recent wildfires, that same philosophy now guides our ground-up residential work. We believe rebuilding is about more than replacing what was lost it's about restoring the architectural character of our communities. By blending timeless design with modern functionality, we create homes that honor the past while serving future generations.

Our design ethos is simple: thoughtfully blending old with new to create homes that belong.

We are seeking an Intern Designer with outstanding design, organization and production skills who is passionate about great architecture and willing to break the mold - because that's how we are.

• Must be entering 4th year of Undergrad at a minimum
• 1-3 years of architectural or design experience (internship experience absolutely counts!).
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to keep track of the details (even the tiny ones).
• A self-starter who enjoys solving problems, asking questions, and taking initiative.
• A team player who enjoys collaboration and believes great design comes from great conversations.
• Valid California driver's license and daily use of your own vehicle.
• U.S. citizen or US Green Card.
• Currently residing in the Los Angeles area (this is an in-person position).
• Appreciation for historic architecture, beautifully crafted details, old buildings, old objects, and working alongside our Chief Morale Officer .... a very lovable chocolate Labrador who believes everyone comes to the office just to see him.

• Assist to Maintain materials library.
• Coordinate with consultants, vendors and contractors.
• Visit job sites, and consultant offices.

• A collaborative team that genuinely enjoys working (and laughing) together.
• Hands-on experience ... you won't spend your internship making coffee and disappearing into a corner.
• Exposure to the full design process, from the first sketch through construction.
• Opportunities to visit job sites and see architecture come to life.
• Mentorship from the Principal Architect who loves sharing what they've learned.
• Lunch conversations that often wander between architecture, travel, dogs, great food, and whatever design obsession we're currently exploring.
• Occasional team lunches and reasons to step away from the computer.
• A constant supply of coffee and snacks.
