Barrett Architecture Studio
Registered Architect

Located in the Highland Park District of Birmingham, Alabama, Barrett Architecture Studio is a small, hands-on design practice with a focus on Commercial, Residential, Religious, and Retail projects. The practice began in its earliest form in 1980 and has developed a breadth of experience and relationships throughout Birmingham and the north-central Alabama region. Our open studio environment is an excellent place to learn and grow as an architect, where you will experience all aspects of project design and delivery, as well as what it takes to operate an architectural practice.

We are seeking a registered or nearly registered Architect with a minimum of 5+ years of experience to join our Firm. Candidates will be fully immersed in all aspects of design and project delivery. Candidates who desire to participate and interact with clients, contractors and other consultants will find the opportunity to do so with this position.

Our work involves both analog and digital media, where sketching, watercolor and drafting live comfortably alongside Procreate, Trace, Sketchup, Lumion & Revit project models. Candidates need to display the skills and ability to work in both of these broad areas.

Barrett Architecture Studio approaches each project with fresh curiosity, because we believe that every client is unique – and so each project deserves its own identity. You might notice that none of our projects look the same – that is because we approach each new design with a curiosity to help shape it to best serve that client. Being a small design firm, we are able to provide personal access to our clients – where leadership is involved on each and every project.

Please contact Brian Barrett or Adam Kent for inquiries.
