Common is hiring a talented architect to join the Design and Construction team at an associate level. Common designs, builds, and operates coliving homes across America with a focus on community. As a leading innovator, we are looking for truly exceptional designers to translate our vision and mission into the homes we create.
About Common

Common brings home to life by creating, designing and operating all-inclusive shared homes for those who live life in common. We combine community, convenience, and flexibility to make living with others a joy instead of a chore. Headquartered in New York, Common was founded by General Assembly co-founder Brad Hargreaves in early 2015.

Common partners with real estate owners and developers throughout the US to create community-minded homes. By doing this, we’re addressing the fundamental supply and demand issues that underlie housing in major cities today. Common opened its doors to its first building in Brooklyn in October 2015.
