Z Studio Architects

Our Philosophy: Architecture is a poetic fusion of art and science realized in the built environment. The components are Our Client The end users’ desires and functional needs for the interior and exterior spaces The Site The unique quality of each individual location and its context including the qualities of the setting, views, light, micro- climate and eco-systems Vision An architectural vision of a spatial experience which enhances the quality of living Design Rich design elements that are well thought-out and detailed for construction Technology Optimal engineering, technology and materials to create a sustainable building Codes Local planning ordinances and current building codes Human activities become harmoniously adjusted to this built environment once lived-in. The intellectual, emotional and financial investment of the users, designers and builders is enormously rewarding for all involved. Services: Master Planning and Feasibility Studies In order to determine the ultimate development of a site, we analyze all aspects of its parameters--constraints and opportunities, and study various options for a phased development if appropriate. We also can quickly produce a project scheme which can be analyzed from various perspectives, such as constructibility and financial feasibility. Building Design Once a project scheme is agreed with the client, ZSA will work with the planning and building departments and the client to bring the scheme to the detailed level necessary for bidding or negotiating with contractors, and for approvals from the authorities to build. Interior Design We specialize in a range of interior design styles to suit clients' needs and tastes, but most of our clients prefer a modernist approach to materials, colors and details. Landscape Design Conceptual and detailed design for site work is provided by ZSA, often in conjunction with a Landscape Architect whose work we coordinate and direct for compatibility with the overall design intent of the building projects.
