A bit about us:

We are a 120-person, client-centric interdisciplinary firm headquartered in Milwaukee's historic Menomonee River Valley, with a project base that spans the Midwest and beyond. Founded in 1906, we've spent more than a century designing environments that empower the people who inhabit them — from healthcare facilities that save lives to schools that inspire learning, civic buildings that strengthen communities, and sports and recreation spaces that bring people together. Our full-service capabilities span architecture, interior design, planning, structural engineering, civil engineering, MEP, and landscape architecture, all under one roof. We've earned recognition as one of the best places to work in Milwaukee, and we take that distinction seriously — fostering a culture of curiosity, continual learning, rigorous design thinking, and genuine fun. We believe that a building project is a landmark event, and we treat every one of them that way.

Why join us?

• Work across one of the broadest market portfolios in the region — from healthcare and education to civic, sports, science & tech, worship, and industrial — no two projects are the same.
• Join a 120-person firm with the resources and diversity of a large practice and the culture and relationships of a boutique studio
• Be part of a true interdisciplinary team — architects, interior designers, engineers, planners, and landscape architects collaborating under one roof
• Headquartered in a multiple award-winning, LEED-certified historic building that is itself a testament to the firm's design philosophy
• Recognized as one of Milwaukee's best places to work, with a culture built around curiosity, professional development, work-life balance, and genuine camaraderie
• Deep roots in Milwaukee with a philanthropic commitment to the communities we design for — this is a firm that does meaningful work and means it
• Shareholder opportunities available as part of a long-term career path within the firm
