The Ghost Residency is a competitive 9-month internship that runs from Sept/Oct to the end of May for graduate architects offered by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. The successful applicant will work directly with Brian MacKay-Lyons (Royal Architectural Institute of Canada 2015 Gold Medal recipient/Royal Institute of British Architects International Fellowship recipient) in the apprenticeship model in the master builder tradition.

This residency is based in Lunenburg County on the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia – the satellite office of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects; the site of the legendary Ghost Architectural Laboratory; and in the historic village where many of the firm’s best known projects continue to be built.

The intern will participate in all aspects of the design process. Accommodation on site is provided. The intern will receive an honorarium commensurate with their experience level.

Interested applicants can send questions and their portfolio, resume, and cover letter to Amanda, at amanda@mlsarchitects.ca by Wednesday, June 25^th.
