Create Exceptional Homes. Shape Meaningful Spaces.

Most senior architect roles promise great projects and creative freedom.

The reality?
Too often, you're buried in documentation, managing issues you inherited, and slowly disconnect further from the design decisions that matter most.

This opportunity is different.
We're representing a highly regarded WA design studio known for crafting exceptional residential architecture that balances timeless design with genuine livability. Their work draws on a refined mid-century sensibility, creating warm, considered homes that feel effortless, enduring, and ready to be lived in from the moment they're handed over.

With a strong pipeline of bespoke residential, multi-residential and renovation/extension projects, they're seeking a Lead Architect who wants to lead remarkable projects from concept through completion while having a genuine influence on design outcomes, client relationships, and project success.
This is an opportunity to work alongside respected industry leaders who value thoughtful architecture, meticulous delivery, and the ability to create spaces that improve the way people live every day.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Lead projects through every phase of design and delivery
  • Shape design outcomes that are both architecturally compelling and deeply liveable
  • Build trusted relationships with clients and become their strategic advisor
  • Coordinate consultants, stakeholders, and project teams
  • Drive project schedules, budgets, and delivery outcomes
  • Champion documentation quality and technical excellence
  • Undertake site inspections and administer contracts during construction
  • Mentor emerging architects and contribute to studio culture
  • Support continuous improvement across systems and project delivery
  • Contribute to business development and long-term client relationships
