About Habitat Housing

Habitat Housing is a Sydney-based residential design studio shaping high-end homes with refined detail, natural materiality and thoughtful, functional planning. We believe a home is a reflection of its inhabitants - crafted with care, purpose and longevity.

We take a collaborative, client-focused approach to each project, designing spaces that feel timeless, personal and deeply connected to the way people live. As a small, quality-driven team, we value craftsmanship, clear communication and a design process that balances creativity with technical precision.

Role Description

We are seeking a full-time
Senior Architect
to join our studio in Concord, NSW. This is a senior, hands-on role suited to someone with strong technical capability, refined design sensibilities and the confidence to lead projects through all stages - from concept and DA/CDC documentation through to coordination and delivery.

You'll work closely with our Director on design development, oversee documentation quality, coordinate with consultants, and bring clarity and professionalism to client interactions. The role also includes mentoring junior team members, guiding documentation standards, and contributing to the operational rhythm of the studio.

This role is ideal for an architect who enjoys both the creative and technical sides of residential design and wants to play a meaningful role within a boutique, high-quality practice.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead design and documentation across multiple high-end residential projects
  • Develop and refine design concepts with the Director
  • Prepare and oversee DA/CDC documentation packages
  • Coordinate with consultants, suppliers and builders
  • Liaise confidently with clients throughout the design and documentation process
  • Review and elevate project outputs to maintain Habitat's standards
  • Mentor junior designers and support team capability
  • Maintain drawing standards, documentation quality and workflow efficiency
  • Contribute to improvements across processes and client experience

Qualifications

  • Registration as an Architect in NSW (or near registration)
  • 6–10 years experience in residential architecture (high-end or boutique studio experience preferred)
  • Strong Revit proficiency with excellent documentation and detailing capability
  • Experience preparing DA/CDC documentation and coordinating with consultants
  • Confident communicator with client-facing experience
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines with attention to detail
  • Knowledge of Australian Standards, BCA/NCC and residential construction
  • A proactive, collaborative mindset and a strong eye for design refinement

Attributes we value

  • Detail-driven and quality-focused
  • Proactive, dependable and calm under pressure
  • Polished communication skills
  • Supportive team presence who leads by example
  • Strong sense of design refinement and proportion
  • Someone who represents Habitat with confidence and care

Life at Habitat Housing

We're a small, collaborative team that values culture as much as craft. Some of the things we enjoy:

  • Unlimited café coffees
  • Weekly team trivia
  • Monthly team outings and design excursions
  • A supportive environment where your ideas genuinely shape the work

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
