Senior Design Architect

Senior Architect

Simran Boparai Archtelier | Chandigarh

Legacy Residences | Global Patrons | Timeless Architecture

About the Role

Simran Boparai Archtelier is building a rare kind of architectural practice emerging from India — one rooted in timeless design, strong fundamentals, and uncompromising architectural ethics.

We are looking for a Senior Architect (5+ years experience) who believes architecture is a discipline, not a trend. This role is crafted for architects currently working in India’s most respected firms who are ready to move into a studio where clarity of fundamentals, integrity of thought, and depth of design matter more than scale alone.

Our projects are commissioned by global wealth creators, legacy families, and industry leaders, where architecture is treated as a generational asset.

If you are seeking a practice where architecture is taken seriously — this is that environment.

Who This Role Is Truly For

This role is for architects who:

- Have their fundamentals deeply clear - Respect proportion, scale, and spatial discipline - Believe in architectural ethics and authorship - Are tired of diluted design environments - Want to build a body of work with lasting relevance

We are not looking for software operators.

We are looking for architects in the truest sense.

This is not a typical architecture job.

This is a platform to design homes that define legacies.

What You Will Work On

At Simran Boparai Archtelier, projects are deeply personal, high value, and architecturally demanding.

You will work on:

- Ultra luxury private estates and villas - Residences ranging from 15,000 to more than 200,000 square feet - Palatial homes rooted in classical discipline - Global private residences across India and international markets - Architecture led interior environments

These are homes commissioned by individuals for whom architecture is legacy, not lifestyle.

Preferred Background

- Experience in reputed design studios known for architectural depth - Exposure to classical or timeless architectural languages - Experience working under strong design leadership - Architects seeking a more authored body of work - Meaningful international exposure — including working on global projects or clients, and personal exposure through working, studying, or travelling abroad that reflects cultural awareness and design maturity
