ALTO / JOBS
Opportunities
We’re always open to meeting amazing designers and architects and would be happy to meet with anyone interested in full time employement.Please email us with your portfolio, work samples and a breif description of who you are.
Work Environment + Office Practices
We are architects working on a variety of unique and complex projects. We are hands-on principals who draft, draw, model, render, and sometimes go to school reviews. Most important is that we are intricately familiar with all stages of design and construction. While we don’t actively teach anymore we have both taught and believe that the practice of architecture is a continuation of our education. We want our work should be more than just work. Our work relies upon taking the time to learn new things, experiment and enjoy the process.
ALTO is an office ideal for those wanting to learn all aspects of practice. Where possible we strive to be both the design and architect-of-record believing that continuity from design through construction enables the production of spectacular buildings. Our hope is that everyone who works with us will be prepared for individual practice within 3-4 years. As such we take our roles as mentors seriously and provide support for those pursuing licensure.
If these ideas and goals interest you – even if you disagree with them – we’d be happy to meet you and discuss how you could become an integral part of our office.
Studio Locations
We currently have two offices in Oakland and San Francisco and the choice of workplace is flexible.
