Experienced Designer

We welcome job applications from all passionate and qualified designers demonstrating broad experience in the field of architecture including conceptual design, detailing, and construction review.

The Mission
DWA is looking for an individual that shares our commitment to the following:

1 We seek to elevate our most vulnerable and marginalized communities through the design of safe and welcoming places to live, collaborate, and heal.

2 We support climate action: to hold our clients to the highest environmental standards, to eliminate the use of fossil fuels, to harness and strategically utilize renewable energy, and to build with materials that sequester carbon and create healthy places.

3 We support inclusivity and diversity and condemn racism and violence. Our work serves many individuals who experience/d homelessness, addiction, discrimination, and mental health challenges.

The Work
We are passionate about work in the pipeline to improve the built and natural environment for the community in need of compassion and equality. The work includes affordable housing, clinics for community health and mental health services, adaptation and rehabilitation of historic structures, and spaces that support non-profits and local makers.

In our open one-room studio we maintain a welcoming environment, foster teamwork, and serve our clients. Just as important is our time outside of the studio where we engage with our neighbors, travel, and value time with our children, friends, and families.

We welcome job applications from all passionate and qualified designers demonstrating broad experience in the field of architecture including conceptual design, detailing, and construction review. We believe the right person to join DWA is not tied to a number of years of experience - it is about skill, communication, leadership, and the desire to further the firm’s mission.
