Q-Arch Design (formerly Q-Architecture) is an all-inclusive design practice in San Francisco that approaches the built environment through an integrated lens—where design, structure, and performance inform one another. We create spaces that are both functional and inspiring, grounded in creative vision, technical clarity, and science-based positioning.
We’re seeking a motivated Architectural Designer with a Master’s degree in Architecture and 2+ years of professional experience to join our nimble, collaborative team.
About Us
Our firm is grounded in theoretical and science-based positioning, integrating research, material intelligence, and performance-driven thinking into a design process rooted in strong foundations in design and engineering.
Our work focuses on urban infill housing and adaptive reuse, with an emphasis on small- to medium-scale housing solutions that expand affordability within the existing urban fabric. We approach building codes and regulatory frameworks as active design tools, using them strategically to inform innovative solutions that advance environmental and societal goals.
Our culture values curiosity, mindfulness, and precision. We work in a collaborative, open environment with regular design reviews, site engagement, and direct interaction with clients and city agencies. A weekly mindful practice is part of our studio rhythm, supporting creative focus and well-being.
What Makes Us Unique
Our studio operates as an informed generalist practice, where design thinking, technical understanding, and code strategy are developed together rather than siloed into traditional roles. We value creative, adaptable designers who are comfortable working across disciplines and not defined by a single title.
This integrated approach supports thoughtful problem-solving, shared authorship, and meaningful responsibility at every level. Team members may also have opportunities to participate in academic reviews and serve on design juries as part of our engagement with the broader design community.
Position Requirements
Master’s degree in Architecture
Minimum 2 years of professional experience
Proficiency in Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Enscape, AutoCAD, and Adobe Creative Suite
Strong design and visualization skills
Familiarity with California building codes and permitting processes preferred
Full-time, in-person position (San Francisco studio)
What We Offer
Direct mentorship and collaboration with firm leadership
Meaningful design responsibility on active projects
Opportunities for academic exposure, such as participation in design juries
Support for professional development, including industry events, continuing education, and peer-led lunch-and-learns
If you’re a thoughtful designer who thrives in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your portfolio, résumé, and a brief statement of interest to [email protected]
