Description:
Our firm is one of a kind. Our beautiful West Berkeley office opens to a garden patio. We focus on the social justice of Universal Design, while designing buildings that win design awards in every category. We are skillful, determined, dedicated and curious.
Mikiten Architecture is a full-service firm taking a wide range of clients. We have a new branch called The Art of Access that takes a laser focus on Universal Design – we’re showing the world that the historic choice between accessibility and beautiful architecture is a false idea; by doubling down on Universal Design we can understand users and their needs so deeply that the architectural expression of that isn’t just beautifully usable, but it also creates opportunities for visual beauty that might never be found otherwise.
This is the right job for someone who will dive in deep and run with a project, from the first idea to the last touch on the building. For someone who is highly principled and who sees meaning in the work. For someone who enjoys beauty, quiet, and focus.
We’re seeking an intern architect/drafter who has self-direction and who shares a passion for innovation in housing, tech workplace projects, and Universal Design. We will consider part-time or full-time work. In this office, it’s about fit.
