Architectural Associate

About Studioshen

Studioshen is an architecture and design practice focused on climate performance, spatial efficiency, construction logic, and financial accountability. We deliver well-reasoned architecture that is buildable, disciplined, and strategically sound.

Role Overview

You will be responsible for leading architectural projects from concept through construction, managing junior staff, coordinating consultants, and maintaining design and technical quality.

This is a hands-on leadership role — not purely managerial, and not purely production.

You are expected to:

• Think critically about design

• Control technical quality

• Run projects professionally

• Represent the studio confidently with clients and consultants

This role suits someone who wants real responsibility and career progression, not just years on a CV.

Key Responsibilities

Project Leadership & Delivery

• Lead projects across all stages: concept, design development, authorities, tender, and construction

• Manage project timelines, deliverables, and internal resources

• Ensure design intent is maintained through documentation and construction

• Oversee drawing quality, coordination, and technical resolution

Design Development

• Drive concept development and design strategy

• Translate high-level ideas into buildable architecture

• Review and guide junior staff work with clear direction and standards

• Contribute meaningfully to design reviews and decisions

Technical & Consultant Coordination

• Lead coordination with structural, M&E, QS, and specialist consultants

• Resolve technical issues proactively and logically

• Oversee detailing, constructability, and documentation quality

• Manage authority submissions and approvals

Client & Stakeholder Management

• Act as primary project contact for clients

• Run meetings, presentations, and design discussions

• Manage expectations on scope, budget, and timelines professionally

• Build strong, long-term client relationships

Requirements

Essential

• Degree in Architecture (or equivalent)

• 5+ years of relevant architectural experience (Singapore preferred)

• Strong technical competency in detailing and documentation

• Proficient in Revit (project-level leadership, not just modelling)

• Proven experience running projects independently

• Clear communication and leadership skills

• Strong design judgement and problem-solving ability

Preferred

• Experience with Singapore authority submissions (CORENET, URA, BCA, etc.)

• Experience managing junior staff or small teams

• Residential and/or commercial project experience

• Strong understanding of construction workflows and site coordination

What We Offer

• Leadership responsibility on real projects

• Direct involvement in studio direction and growth

• Strong design culture with high technical standards

• Competitive salary based on capability (not just years)

• Clear progression toward senior associate / project director level
