What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Architect – Luxury Projects position at Baevich Design Studio?
About Us
At Baevich Design Studio, we don’t just design spaces—we craft legacies. For many years, our team has redefined luxury architecture and interiors for discerning clients, from Hawaiian villas to New York penthouses. We blend timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation, creating homes that are as functional as they are breathtaking. If you’re driven by perfection and thrive on pushing design boundaries, you’ll find your tribe here.
The Role
We’re seeking a Senior Architect who lives and breathes luxury. This isn’t just about drafting plans—it’s about leading iconic projects that grace the pages of design magazines. You’ll helm high-profile residential developments from initial sketches to the final polish, collaborating with master artisans, engineers, and clients who expect nothing short of brilliance.
What You’ll Own:
- End-to-End Leadership: Steer projects from concept sketches through construction administration, ensuring every detail—from custom millwork to smart-home integrations—meets our exacting standards.
- Cross-Disciplinary Mastery: Partner with top-tier MEP engineers, landscape designers, and specialty vendors to turn visionary ideas into buildable realities.
- Client Whispering: Translate clients’ dreams into actionable blueprints, presenting designs with the confidence of someone who knows the difference between “good” and “unforgettable.”
- Mentorship: Elevate junior talent by leading design critiques and sharing hard-won lessons from your portfolio of $10M homes.
Non-Negotiables
- 8 years in high-end residential architecture (show us your portfolio of homes where no two door handles are alike).
- Technical Chops: AutoCAD fluency is a must; Rhino/Revit skills earn bonus points. Hand sketching? We’ll frame your first draft.
- Bilingual in Build: Speak contractor fluently? Your deep knowledge of NYC building codes and traditional masonry techniques will keep projects on time and under budget.
Why Choose Baevich Design Studio?
- Compensation: 130,000–170,000 base (commensurate with portfolio pedigree) annual performance bonuses
- Lifestyle: Hybrid flexibility (Tues/Wed in-office), summer Fridays, and a design-forward workspace stocked with premium materials libraries
- Benefits: 100% covered health/dental, 401(k) match, parental leave, and commuter perks
