Build Your Future With Us

Join a team where your growth is our priority, and your contributions shape our collective success. We are not just building structures; we are building careers.

More Than a Firm, We're a Family

At API, we know that our people are our greatest asset. We cultivate a close-knit, supportive environment that functions less like a company and more like a family. Our success is built on the foundation of a cohesive team that respects, challenges, and encourages one another every day.

We don't just hire for a role; we invest in individuals with an eye toward the long-term development of their careers.

The physical design of our studio reflects this philosophy. With low walls in our production area, we foster an atmosphere of open communication and passive learning. This allows team members to collaborate, ask questions, and keep an "antenna up"—absorbing insights from projects all around them. It's an environment designed for continual growth.

Opportunity Is in Our DNA

There is a reason our firm isn't named after our principals: we see every new hire as a potential future owner. We continually seek talented individuals who are not just looking for a job, but are eager to build a lasting career in architecture.

While technical skills are important, we place an even higher value on a powerful desire to learn, grow, and excel within our industry.
