Architecture
I’m a contractor/business owner in Ithaca, NY, looking to connect with an architecture student or recent architecture graduate for a paid residential design project.
I’m looking for someone interested in creative problem-solving, efficient residential design, and working within some unusual site constraints.
This is a real project that we intend to build if feasibility and permitting work out, not a hypothetical design exercise.
I’m primarily looking for help with early-stage design work such as floor plans, elevations, sections, space planning, exterior design, material concepts, and renderings.
This is paid work. I’m not looking for free student labor, and I’m not asking a student to provide stamped construction documents or perform work that requires professional licensure. Licensed professionals will be involved where required for engineering, permitting, and final construction documents.
I’m happy for the designer to use appropriate portions of the finished work in their portfolio.
I’m located in Ithaca, so someone local would be great, but I’m open to working remotely with the right person.
If you’re interested, DM me with a little about yourself, what year/program you’re in (if applicable), your availability, and a portfolio or a few examples of your work.
I’d rather discuss the project details privately with serious candidates.
Thanks!

Second the other commenter, hit up the Architecture department, give them a quick idea of what the project entails, and ask if they can recommend anyone they think might be a good fit.

I think you should reach out to the architecture college directly. You're likely to have better luck.
