ArchiCAD Residential Architect

Role Description

Do you enjoy designing single-family homes from concept through construction documents? Are you a design-oriented architect with deep ArchiCAD expertise and a strong understanding of wood framing construction? We're looking for a skilled ArchiCAD Residential Architect to join bB|A Studios' team remotely, supporting single-family residential projects across California from design development through permit and construction sets. This is a full-time remote opportunity, ideal for someone who thinks architecturally, communicates confidently in English, and is ready to hit the ground running.

What you'll do:

• Contribute to the design process on single-family residential projects, from early concepts through CDs.
• Develop 3D models and SD sets, including floor plans, sections, and elevations.
• Produce full CD sets for permit submission to local authorities and coordination with general contractors.
• Pick up redlines and update drawing sets efficiently and accurately.
• Work directly in ArchiCAD across all project phases — modeling, documentation, and coordination.
• Apply knowledge of wood framing construction to inform design decisions and documentation.
• Collaborate closely with the bB|A Studios team, acting as an extension of their internal team.
• Communicate proactively with stakeholders and help move projects forward with a degree of autonomy.

Qualifications

• Strong ArchiCAD proficiency.
• Advanced English proficiency — comfortable communicating directly with the client team.
• Proven experience designing single-family homes, not only production or drafting work.
• Solid understanding of wood framing construction and its documentation requirements.
• Experience producing SD through CD sets, including permit sets and contractor deliverables.
• Experience picking up redlines and maintaining drawing accuracy across project phases.
• Familiarity with U.S. residential documentation standards and practices.
• Ability to work remotely, manage deadlines, and collaborate effectively with autonomy.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation.
• Flexibility.
• Constant learning and growth.
• Opportunity to work anywhere with one of our +130 active clients across the United States.
