Architect Needed – Middle Housing Design & Permit Sets (Stamped or Unstamped)

Contract | Ongoing Work | Remote-Friendly

We are a real estate development and design-build firm focused on middle housing: duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, courtyard apartments, and small multifamily (2–60 units).

We are seeking an Architect (licensed or unlicensed) who can design, draft, and produce complete permit-ready plan sets for residential middle housing projects. Stamping is a plus, but not required.

This is ongoing work for the right architect.

What You’ll Do

You will be responsible for taking projects from concept through permit submission, including:

Architectural design for middle housing projects

Full permit-ready construction documents, including:

Site plan coordination

Floor plans

Elevations

Building sections

Wall sections & details

Code sheets (IBC / IRC as applicable)

Life safety plans (where required)

Coordination with civil, structural, and MEP consultants

Redline responses to plan review comments

Revisions through permit approval

Projects are typically urban infill with tight zoning constraints.

Required Experience

✅ Strong knowledge of IBC / IRC and local amendments
✅ Experience with middle housing or small multifamily
✅ Proficient in Revit or AutoCAD (Revit preferred)

Licensure

Licensed Architect (any U.S. state) – preferred but not required

Unlicensed designers welcome if experienced with permit approvals

Nice to Have

Experience with Washington State or West Coast jurisdictions

Familiarity with zoning-driven design constraints

Experience with repetitive / modular / scalable plan sets
