What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Architect position at AIA Colorado?
At Alvarez Morris Architectural Studio, we believe exceptional architecture is defined not only by vision, but by execution.
Our studio designs manifest deeply personal residential spaces. Careful consideration is taken for the details that elevate each project to a unique level of sophistication and timeless elegance. We pair intentional design with technical rigor to create homes that feel calm, functional, and uniquely tailored to the people who live in them.
We are seeking a Project Architect who thrives at the intersection of design excellence and technical leadership — someone who takes ownership, values precision, and enjoys collaborating within a highly creative studio environment.
This role is ideal for an architect who wants meaningful project responsibility, close client engagement, and the opportunity to shape exceptional custom homes from concept through completion.
What You’ll Do
You will lead high-end residential projects through all phases of design and construction, serving as the key link between creative vision and built reality.
