Architectural Designer

Architectural Designer (3-6 Years Experience)

Mumbai-Based
Full-time | In-Office

We’re building something extraordinary in a remote desert landscape — and we’re looking for an Architectural Designer to be part of the journey.

This role offers a rare opportunity to work on a landmark destination resort in the Thar Desert, contributing to a project that blends strong design thinking, contextual sensitivity, and high-quality construction. Based in Mumbai, the position includes exposure to all stages of design, with site visits as required.

If you’re an early-career designer with solid fundamentals, a sharp design eye, and a desire to work on meaningful architecture outside the conventional studio mold, we’d love to hear from you.

About Star Masons

Star Masons is a new design studio founded by a filmmaker and an architect trained at Pratt Institute, united by a shared vision shaped through global travel, creative exploration, and a belief in building with integrity and imagination.

We’re not a conventional architecture firm. We operate as a small, focused creative collective, launching with a flagship resort project deeply rooted in its landscape, culture, and context. Currently in the early design phase, we are assembling a lean team to help bring this vision to life.

We value thoughtful collaboration, curiosity, and accountability over hierarchy — and we’re building a studio where young designers can learn deeply, contribute meaningfully, and grow alongside ambitious projects.

What You’ll Do:

• Support the design development of a destination resort project from concept to execution
• Assist in preparing architectural drawings, models, and presentation material
• Work closely with senior architects to develop design details and spatial clarity
• Coordinate drawings and information with consultants and internal team members
• Participate in site visits and assist with on-site coordination when required
• Contribute creatively to discussions around design, materiality, and context

What We’re Looking For:

• 1–3 years of professional experience in architecture or interior architecture
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Architecture
• Strong design sensibility with attention to detail and proportion
• Basic understanding of construction drawings and building systems
• Ability to work independently while being receptive to feedback
• Curious, motivated, and eager to learn in a fast-moving studio environment
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Tools We Use:

We currently work with Rhino, AutoCAD, and Lumion. Familiarity with these tools is helpful, but we’re more interested in how you think, learn, and translate ideas than in rigid software checklists.

Why Join Us?

• Work on a unique, high-profile resort project from an early stage
• Learn directly from a hands-on founding team
• Gain exposure to both design and execution
• Be part of a small studio where your work truly matters
• Opportunity to grow with the practice as new projects come on board
• Competitive compensation based on experience
