This is not a decorating or furniture selection position. We are looking for a designer with a deep understanding of architectural interiors, space planning, construction detailing, and custom millwork for ultra-luxury homes.

Responsibilities

• Design custom luxury kitchens, bathrooms, dressing rooms, closets, libraries, bars, wine cellars, and architectural millwork.
• Produce detailed AutoCAD drawings, elevations, sections, and construction documents.
• Develop cabinetry layouts, trim details, ceiling treatments, fireplaces, built-ins, and custom furniture.
• Create sophisticated interior color palettes and coordinate premium materials, finishes, stone, wood, metal, and lighting.

• Experience collaborating with custom cabinet shops and high-end builders is highly preferred.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a true designer—someone who understands architecture, construction, and millwork at the highest level. We are not seeking a decorator whose experience is limited to selecting furniture, accessories, fabrics, or paint colors. Our projects demand refined design judgment, technical expertise, and the ability to create extraordinary luxury interiors from concept through construction.

If you're creative and artistic, and enjoy being an integral part of building exceptional luxury homes, we’d love to hear from you.
