About the Studio
This is one of those rare opportunities to join a practice that genuinely lives up to its reputation. A Melbourne institution established nearly five decades ago, this multidisciplinary studio has grown into one of Australia's most respected design practices — and they've done it without losing the things that matter most: a genuine design culture, strong and accessible leadership, and a team of people who actually enjoy coming to work.
Operating across architecture, interior design, urban design and town planning, they punch well above their weight on design quality while maintaining a reputation for delivering. Their Melbourne studio is nestled in a vibrant inner‐city location and has the energy of a practice that's busy for all the right reasons — meaningful projects, repeat clients, and a pipeline that spans living, social housing, build‐to‐rent, hospitality and mixed‐use.
This isn't a sausage factory. Work here is end‐to‐end, design‐led, and underpinned by a genuine belief that good architecture improves lives.
The Role
Due to continued growth, the Melbourne team is looking for a Project Architect or Senior Project Architect to join their studio. You'll be working across a diverse and exciting project pipeline, so experience on large‐scale projects is key — and any exposure to multi‐residential will be highly regarded.
You'll be working across a diverse mix of residential typologies — from premium apartment developments through to social and affordable housing — with involvement from early design through to documentation and delivery. This is a practice that values architects who can hold a project with both hands: someone who cares about the design intent but also knows how to get it built.
Depending on your experience level, you'll either hit the ground running as a key project lead or step into a senior role with broader oversight responsibilities.
What You'll Be Doing
* Leading or contributing to projects across all project stages, from concept through to construction
* Working predominantly within the living sector including, multi res, build‐to‐rent, social and affordable housing, senior living as well as commercial, civic and mixed use sectors
* Collaborating closely with Directors and design leads in a genuinely collegiate design environment
* Consultant coordination, client engagement and managing documentation programs
* Contributing to a culture that values both design excellence and team wellbeing
What You'll Bring
* Demonstrated experience working end to end on project, ideally with some in Multi‐Resi or related size and scale or projects.
* Strong documentation skills and working knowledge of the NCC/BCA
* Experience across multiple project stages — you're comfortable in both design and delivery
* A collaborative approach and the ability to communicate confidently with clients and consultants
* Revit proficiency expected; additional skills in Rhino, SketchUp or similar well regarded
Why This Role?
* Join a genuinely well‐regarded studio with a strong identity and even stronger culture
* Work on projects that matter — including social and affordable housing alongside premium residential
* End‐to‐end involvement — no being siloed into one phase
* Experienced, approachable directors who invest in their people
* Flexible working arrangements and a studio that walks the talk on work‐life balance
* Great CBA Melbourne inner‐city studio with a beautiful, character‐filled workspace
