CO Adaptive is hiring. We are looking for a Junior Designer to join our team.
CO Adaptive Architecture is a process oriented architectural practice focused on retrofitting our existing building stock to create energy efficient, climate resilient and spatially beautiful environments. We believe it is our responsibility as architects to understand the design of one building as part of a holistic system and there is a global cost to every decision made. Our practice aims to reduce the environmental impact of construction throughout the extents of the process, including demolition waste management, material sourcing and reuse, operational energy use, embodied energy, and future adaptability.
We are constantly working to evolve and improve the ways that we practice. We approach the design process holistically, integrating cost analysis, carbon analysis and 3-D building information modeling from the very beginning of each project. We believe in working smarter, not harder, and we close our doors at 6PM to foster enjoying life outside of the office. CO Adaptive strives to offer a fun and creative office culture that values and rewards collaboration and innovation. We don’t believe a top down approach has a place in a collaborative environment, and are convinced that the best results are achieved when everyone's voice is valued and respected. To that end, CO Adaptive believes that diversity and inclusion are essential to building our practice and we encourage all interested candidates to apply.
