At House & Robertson Architects, Inc., which was established in 1996, it is our objective to be responsive to current trends in design and construction. Shorter schedules, tighter budgets, advancing technologies, arduous entitlements, skilled trades gap, and the blurring of building uses have increased the demand for specialization. This specialization not only requires effective documentation but also responsive team management. At the same time, software has made it possible to churn out greater amounts of information, but not all information is beneficial. Effective documentation is clear, concise, and coordinated.

The mission of our firm, as executive architects, is to cultivate and maintain an organization that facilitates this type of undertaking, providing added value for our clients and collaboration partners while making significant contributions to the success of each project. We are looking for candidates who share the same passion.
