MORRIS ADJMI ARCHITECTS D.P.C • New York, NY

3d

About The Position

Morris Adjmi Architects (MA) is an award-winning multidisciplinary design firm offering a comprehensive approach to planning, architecture, interior design, and art. Guided by a passion for placemaking, we’ve designed over 27 million square feet of built space in more than 25 cities throughout the U.S. and abroad. Our portfolio spans residential, hospitality, commercial, arts & culture, and institutional markets, with expertise in adaptive reuse, new construction, entitlement and zoning support, urban planning, interiors, and art services.

Our Architecture practice is shaped by MA’s Conversation-Driven Design Ethos, rooted in dialogue and collaboration. We believe the most meaningful designs emerge through an exploration of context, balanced composition, and creative vision. This ethos drives us to create projects that are timeless yet contemporary, layered with materials and details that enrich the client’s experience. By blending architectural rigor with artistry, we craft environments that inspire, endure, and tell a story.

We’re seeking enthusiastic design students or recent graduates eager to immerse themselves in the practice of architecture. The ideal intern is curious, collaborative, and committed to learning — someone who wants to contribute to real projects while also supporting the day-to-day operations of a design studio. You’re comfortable juggling creative assignments with practical responsibilities, open to feedback, and eager to explore all facets of architecture, from concept design to technical execution.

An Architecture Intern at MA will be immersed in the design process and gain hands-on experience supporting active projects across all phases. Interns will work closely with project teams on drawings, models, presentations, and research. This is a full-time, cohort-based internship designed for long-term engagement, providing meaningful exposure to real-world architectural practice and the operations that support it.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a professional program in Architecture
• Strong design sensibility and curiosity about the built environment.
• Proficiency in design and visualization software (Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite).
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks, stay detail-oriented, and meet deadlines.

Responsibilities

• Assist with the preparation of client presentations, including diagrams, drawings, models, and renderings.
• Support drafting, modeling, and design documentation under supervision.
• Contribute to design development through precedent research and image sourcing.
• Participate in project meetings and design reviews as part of active project teams.
• Observe coordination with consultants and multidisciplinary teams.
• Gain exposure to the relationship between design intent and technical execution.
• Support updates to drawings based on team redlines and feedback.
• Gain familiarity with project milestones, schedules, and internal workflows.
• Join scheduled site visits to NYC projects for exposure to construction and client interaction.

Benefits

• At MA, interns are integrated into the life of the office and encouraged to participate fully in our collaborative culture. We host weekly team lunches, firm-wide “On-the-Boards” presentations, a “Beautiful Spaces” offsite design inspiration series, and in-house art exhibitions. Interns are paired with mentors, supported in their professional development, and exposed to all aspects of practice.
• This is a paid, full-time internship intended for long-term engagement.
