Project Architect

At Soto, we believe that a successful practice of architecture must be courageous, transparent and continuously open to learning. Founded in 2014 around this powerful idea, Soto’s small firm culture creates opportunities to not only grow professionally, but also holistically - allowing our team members to bring their unique and diverse personalities to everything they do.

We are excited to welcome the best and brightest new members to our team, who share our drive for great design and our passion toward community and environmental impact.
