This is a great opportunity, with an amazing local company.
Our studio is based in the historic 'Tweels Grocery Store' in the heart of downtown Charlottetown - just minutes away from the local restaurant and bar scene. We are a short walk to the beautiful Victoria Park, Peakes Quay Waterfront and the Confederation Center Art Gallery. Our studio is 5 years old and rapidly growing a reputation for thoughtful design across Canada. In 2018 our Urban Beehive Project received an RAIC Urban Design Award for Community Initiatives and recently received the RAIC Emerging Practice Award for our innovations in practice, quality of built work and admirable dedication to our community.
Nine Yards has been featured in several publications including Canadian Architect, Globe and Mail, EDIT magazine, Dezeen, Architizer and Design Milk. We were also honored to have our Howe Bay House selected as one of the five international residential projects in Azure Magazine's 2021 Houses Issue.
We have a diverse portfolio of projects including residential, commercial and public buildings, navigating projects from programming to the end of construction. Our collaborative studio environment encourages exploration, experimentation and the open exchange of ideas to provide design solutions for our clients.
We believe in a strong work-life balance and we practice this within our company. Members of the Nine Yards team create their own hours that work for their life, rarely working overtime unless desired. We believe that work should be rewarding and fun. Our studio is known for '9Y Fridays', a Friday afternoon happy hour which often has community members and friends drop in for a visit and music sessions with talented members of our team. We integrate dinners, lunches, happy hours, celebrations and collaborative design initiatives into our work year to keep a sense of play in the office environment.
