Work that’s as diverse as our expertise

Collaboration is our culture. We develop our design solutions by assembling multidisciplinary teams with the skills to address the unique demands of each project. We work together on a wide variety of project types in locations all over the world.

A company designed for people to flourish

The diversity of our practice allows many pathways to success, and you’re afforded the flexibility to change course along the way. We are not organized into a complex corporate structure. Rather, we are an agile, flexible group of staff and management who work closely together to meet project goals.

Careers

Impact. Develop. Belong.

Make a difference from day one

We look to our young designers for innovative solutions to the next generation of design problems. In return, we offer you the opportunity to work on a variety of career-defining projects. In our studio, you’ll express your ideas in a collaborative setting where diversity of viewpoints is encouraged.

Elevate your practice

Smallwood is dedicated to helping you grow, learn, and develop your craft. Among the numerous resources we offer are study groups for the Architectural Registration Exam, an in-house continuing education program, and a mentoring program for professional development.

A place to be you

We celebrate the diversity of our firm, and we recognize the benefits that diversity brings to our profession. We also encourage participation in local service and charity organizations. Our Smallwood Enrichment Team is an employee-led organization whose motto is to “connect, grow, and serve.”

OUR CULTURE

The Foundation for Collaboration

Collaboration is our culture. We develop our design solutions in the context of a multidisciplinary practice where the unique demands of each project drive the heartbeat of our teams. We believe that we best serve our clients by remaining flexible and agile in a volatile market. Our professional staff offer the benefits of diversified experience in a wide range of project types. We build and maintain our teams on a project-by-project basis, in a non-hierarchical, open environment. This broadens the impact of every lesson learned — and every project solved — by expanding collaboration beyond traditional silos of market experience.

We encourage our professionals to engage in the marketplace and bring an awareness of best practices to their design processes. A large part of this comes through our dedication to furthering the professional development of our team. We supplement our project-based learning environment with a robust continuing education program. This program is established to inform our architects and designers of the latest changes in products, processes, codes and design innovation. In most cases, sessions in this program qualify for mandatory continuing education units required to maintain professional licensures.
