Architect, Architect ​/ Sr. Architect

Design extraordinary custom homes where architecture, structure, and craft actually work together — in the heart of the Mountain West.

Salary: $115,000 - $135,000 per year

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.

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
