Dwell Design Studio is seeking a radically polished Project Architect who loves getting into details to plan and develop projects of medium to large scope and work under minimal supervision.

Who we are:

At Dwell, we like to think big and small – producing high minded concepts without losing sight of the details.

And we’re solid people: easy to work with, fun to be around, and void of pretension.

Dwell's award-winning architectural and interiors teams work with both housing and retail developers, including some of the nation’s largest Real Estate Investment Trusts, in designing high density, mixed-use, and urban infill projects. Our projects and offices span many states from Arizona to South Florida, up through DC, Virginia, and Maryland, and into New York and Connecticut.
