Job description

STUDIO TRE

Studio Tre is a design practice working across architecture and interior design at every scale. Projects span the Americas and Europe, residential to commercial, built on the founders’ experience leading projects globally for discerning clients at past design studios.

SENIOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER

Studio Tre seeks a Senior Architectural Designer with a minimum of 8–10 years at an established architecture practice.

Reporting directly to the Partner, you’ll work across residential and commercial/hospitality projects to help realize Studio Tre’s design vision. You’ll move fluidly between design development, production, and coordinating with the teams that turn ideas into built work, managing multiple projects on different timelines without losing precision.

Our drawings are ultimately instruction manuals for builders. We need designers with real prowess in construction detailing, who understand how things are practically built and can translate that understanding into drawings a contractor can execute with confidence. We’re looking for someone diligent, highly organized, and detail-driven, who conducts themselves with utmost professionalism and holds both the creative ambition of a project and its practical realities, client needs, budget, timeline, and construction constraints, in view at once.

Studio Tre is a drawing-based practice. We value designers who use drawing to think through and resolve design problems, not just document them. Hands‑on experience in other forms of craft, design, or art is a plus.

Location: Full‑time, five days a week on‑site at our studio on 20th Street, Flatiron, NYC.

We invest in our team’s professional and creative growth, and offer a comprehensive benefits package within a studio culture built on continual learning.

Requirements

• B.Arch or M.Arch (professional degree)
• 8–10 years at an architecture practice or a design practice with an architecture department, with experience across all project phases, particularly Construction Documents and Construction Contract Administration
• Strong construction detailing skills, with a working understanding of how buildings are actually assembled in the field
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and the Autodesk suite, with strong technical construction drawing skills; 3D modeling/rendering is a plus
• Strong graphic and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop and InDesign

Pluses

• Training in or strong interest in traditional/classical architectural languages. We’re interested in how design history informs contemporary work, and welcome candidates sharing references that shape their own thinking
• Experience with NYC DOB approvals and the permitting/entitlement process
