Project Architect – Multifamily & Affordable Housing Focus

Denver, CO (Hybrid)

About Us

STUDIO Architecture 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.

We approach every affordable housing project with humility, curiosity and practical ingenuity. With an owner’s mindset and a deep understanding of budgets, timelines and operations, we partner with our clients to solve problems, uncover value and deliver designs that serve communities and elevate the lived experience.

We have a number of new market-rate and affordable housing projects on the boards. 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, schedule and long-term success. While prior affordable housing experience is not required, this is an opportunity to apply your multifamily architecture and project management skills to new work that blends innovative design with social impact.
