Frank Shirley Architects specializes in high-end residential architecture for discerning clients. We believe that beauty in architecture springs from an imaginative spirit, dedication to craft, and attention to detail, and can only be realized through exceptional project management. Our work is informed by our deep appreciation for the craft imbued in historic properties. We have good clients and challenging projects. Our work includes renovations, restorations, additions, interior architecture, and new construction. We are located in the heart of Central Square, in Cambridge, MA, a one-minute walk from the Red Line and lots of coffeehouses. Our practice has projects throughout New England.
We are seeking to hire an architect to be an integral member of our team, to take on expanding responsibility, and eventually move into a senior role at our growing firm. Ideal candidates will have 5-10 years’ relevant experience and will be looking to increase their expertise in fine home design and craft. The new team member will be involved in all areas of design. Responsibilities will include zoning and code research, schematic design, product specification, construction document preparation, and project management, among others. Candidates must be self motivated, able to work independently, and have a strong eye for detail. An understanding of wood frame construction is essential, as is an understanding of construction drawings and their preparation. Good freehand drawing skills will also be valuable, as will an appreciation for the myriad architectural styles that have evolved in the United States. Proficiency in Vectorworks, Sketchup, and Adobe Suite preferred.
