MA+HG Architects is a growing practice with a deepening portfolio and an expanding reputation for thoughtful and innovative architecture. We intentionally buck norms. We believe in socially-motivated design that is bold, articulate, aspirational and decidedly anti-luxury. We create non-formulaic based architecture that is uniquely responsive to its site, clients, users and programs. We seek opportunities for innovation in every aspect of our work. Our environment is collaborative; where design occurs at all levels of the process. Our work has grown from laneways to towers; from single family dwellings to multi-family rowhouse communities. We’d love to show you what’s new.
We offer a competitive salary, Extended Health Benefits package, Annual Profit Sharing, a Continuing Education allowance and flexible work hours. Our new studio is located in the heart of Strathcona. We are a friendly and casual studio: creative, collaborative and sometimes frenetic. We value studio culture and community. We love dogs.
