Architect / Architectural Designer

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Architect to join our Singapore studio — someone who can run projects independently and take real ownership from day one. This is not a role where you sit behind a senior's shoulder: you'll be the primary point of coordination with clients, consultants, and contractors, and expected to drive projects forward with minimal supervision. It's a boutique environment with a steep learning curve and genuinely hands-on exposure — the kind of broad, end-to-end responsibility that's hard to come by at larger firms. We're looking for someone versatile, resourceful, and comfortable taking on new challenges across project types and scales.

Key responsibilities

• Run projects independently across all phases — Concept, SD, DD, CD, Tender, and CA

• Act as the main point of coordination between clients, consultants, and contractors

• Ensure designs and documentation comply with local codes, regulations, and authority requirements

• Manage authority submissions and liaise with relevant agencies as required

• Administer construction contracts — certification, valuations, variations, and related documentation

• Develop architectural and interior design concepts across different project types and scales

• Produce design presentations, drawings, and visualisations to a high standard

• Prepare construction documentation and coordinate detailed design with the project team

• Lead or actively participate in client meetings and presentations

• Collaborate closely with the founding directors and a small, dedicated project team

About you

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture from an accredited institution

• Minimum 3 years of professional experience, with a demonstrated track record of running projects independently

• Strong working knowledge of Singapore building codes and regulatory requirements

• Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Revit

• Strong working knowledge of SketchUp, Rhino and/or other 3D modelling software

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator)

• Able to work independently and manage projects with minimal supervision

• Versatile, resourceful, and willing to take on new challenges

• Strong coordination and stakeholder management skills

• Excellent design skills with a refined aesthetic sense

• Singaporean/PR preferred
