Lake|Flato Architects
A celebrated national architecture practice, Lake|Flato is recognized for creating modern, artful, and environmentally responsible settings that inspire connection between people and the natural world. We design destinations that embrace the specific culture and environment of each unique place, whether in Austin’s funky South Congress District, the mangrove wetlands of the Florida Keys, the high Chihuahuan desert of Marfa, Texas, or the beachfront of Baja Sur, Mexico. We value authenticity, “come as you are” comfort, a sense of contextual personality, and practical solutions that work.

Since being founded in 1984, Lake|Flato has received wide critical acclaim. We were recognized by ARCHITECT Magazine as the top firm overall in their 2019 ARCHITECT 50 list. The American Institute of Architects honored us with its prestigious Firm of the Year Award in 2004, and the firm earned a Texas Medal of Arts in 2009. In 2016, Fast Company named us one of the “Ten Most Innovative Architecture Firms in the World” and the LOCUS Foundation honored Lake|Flato with a Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, recognizing our architectural approach to addressing the needs of society.

As architects, teachers, environmental stewards and community advocates, we strive to elevate the public’s appreciation of architecture. We give back to the communities we serve through charitable, nonprofit, and public service programs and by sharing knowledge about the latest advancements in energy performance, design technology, and community-driven design. Through transparent, open, and committed actions, we work to cultivate and maintain a diverse and inclusive culture that supports individuals of all backgrounds. As Lake|Flato’s reputation has grown, so has its size, growing organically under a strategic plan to its current number of 140 people in two offices: the original San Antonio location and a 25-person studio devoted primarily to urban projects in Austin. In collaboration with Rockport Press, Trinity University Press, University of Texas Press, and Rizzoli New York, the firm’s work has been showcased in four monographs with one more being released later this year.

Marketing Internship
Lake|Flato seeks to hire a marketing intern to complement our six-person team of highly experienced marketing professionals. The Marketing Department works in collaboration with the firm’s talented staff and five studios to win work for the firm, oversee and grow our brand, and develop content-rich storytelling for
internal and external communications. Often called the “culture keepers” of Lake|Flato, we are a collaborative and fun bunch who value relationships, authenticity, and a commitment to quality work.

Our ideal candidate is a self-starting individual who possesses strong graphic design, writing, and organizational skills as well as experience working in Adobe’s Creative Suite. The desire to create content-rich, graphically-beautiful storytelling that differentiates Lake|Flato is a must. This is a fast-paced job that requires the ability to collaborate across studios while supporting multiple deadlines. As such, strong interpersonal skills, critical thinking, and tenacity for contributing to a
mission-oriented office environment are desired traits. The ideal candidate is able to work independently as well as in team settings with other creatives including architects, marketers, photographers, videographers, and graphic designers – to solve problems and oversee deadline submissions.

Requirements

This is a 6-month, full-time paid internship. We will evaluate the opportunity for a longer-term position after tenure is completed. The successful candidate will be based in our San Antonio office. We are currently working in a hybrid set-up that involves both in-person and remote work options. We would prefer this person be located in San Antonio and commute to our office as needed. Preference will be given to candidates with similar experience in the AEC industry.
