Studio DIAA
Studio DIAA is looking for a project manager/architect to join its team in Seattle, USA.
Studio DIAA is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Seattle, WA. DIAA is centred around the belief that the thoughtful design of objects, interiors and architecture contributes to the total atmosphere of a project.
We believe the most memorable work has presence – it is poised in expression and singular in character. We are attuned to the physical composition of a place: the tactility of materials; the artful dance of light and shadow; the subtle interplay of tones and textures; and the tangible effects of nature and time.
We are committed to the integrity of ideas and a spirit of exploration. We are curious and aspirational – and our work aims to embody these values.
