A bit about us:

We are a design-forward custom residential architecture and planning studio specializing in luxury homes throughout the Mountain West. Our work is highly site-specific and deeply considered, blending architectural vision with construction intelligence.

Our team integrates architecture, interiors, engineering coordination, and visualization into a streamlined process that allows clients to fully understand their homes long before construction begins. We value buildable design, clear communication, and long-term relationships — with both clients and collaborators.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to work on fewer, better projects — not high volume, not speculative, and not production-driven. The firm designs and delivers $10–25MM fully custom homes, where architectural intent, structural logic, and buildability are aligned from day one.

You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, exposed to the full lifecycle of a project, and supported by leadership that values clear thinking, strong coordination, and elegant solutions over flash.

For the right person, this role offers:

Meaningful design ownership

Close collaboration with builders and engineers

A high level of craft and technical rigor

A very strong compensation package reflective of experience

The chance to build a long-term career in Missoula, Montana

What does success look like in this role, and how is it measured?

Why ask this? You want to ensure you have a clear understanding of expectations before accepting the role. Knowing how success is measured helps you hit the ground running and avoid surprises about performance evaluations. It also signals to the employer that you're results-driven.

Can you describe the team dynamic and the company culture?
