Architectural Professional

Architectural Professional – Hospitality Studio

Design restaurants. Shape experiences. Create destinations.

We’re looking for a creative, design-obsessed Architectural Professional to join our Hospitality Studio—someone who thrives on turning ideas into immersive, memorable environments.

If you love restaurants, energy, storytelling, and spaces that feel alive, you’ll fit right in.

About Gravity Architecture + Design

For over 30 years, Gravity has brought together Architects, Interior Designers, Brand Creatives, and Visualization Artists to design hospitality-driven experiences across the country and around the world.

From restaurants and entertainment venues to lifestyle destinations, our work is all about one thing:

Creating places people enjoy.

We’re not a typical architecture and design firm— and we don’t follow the script.

We’re based in Orlando and have a touchdown office in Chicago as well!

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing restaurants, bars, and experiential spaces from initial concept & brand development through Design Development Drawings (and Construction Drawings when we want to!)
• Building 3D models in SketchUp to bring concepts to life, including both interior and exterior design. We find this helps convey our vision.
• Ensure designs meet applicable codes, zoning, and regulatory standards
• Work as a part of a fast-moving, highly collaborative studio where ideas are constantly evolving.
• Manage multiple projects or tasks simultaneously while having strong time management skills
• Research and integrate materials, trends, and emerging technologies

• A team player who can keep up in a fast-paced, studio environment while managing multiple projects.
• Candidates must be fluent in English and possess excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Entry-Level Architectural Professional (0–3+ Years Experience)
