About Us

STUDIO Architecture (STUDIO) is a national architecture firm rooted in Colorado with deep experience in affordable and workforce housing. We create communities that inspire pride, foster connection and improve the daily lives of the people who call our projects home. From sustainable, zero-energy ready mountain workforce housing to market-rate, urban-infill development to student housing, we combine creativity with a deep respect for a project’s context and long-term success.

STUDIO has several new market-rate and affordable housing projects in communities across the country. While prior affordable housing experience is not required, this is an opportunity to apply your extensive multifamily technical expertise and project management skills to new work that combines community design with social impact. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on complex design challenges, values a culture of idea-sharing, craves responsibility and independence, but most importantly, believes in the power of architecture to strengthen communities.
