Profile

ZZA is a research and advisory practice focused on buildings and people. Based on social science and built environment disciplines, we link cultural, social and design perspectives to shape responsive property approaches and solutions.

Our authority stems from extensive research with the audiences that matter for given projects: occupier organisations and building users, developers and investors, planners and local communities, business leaders and facilities managers. We use our rich evidence-base to optimise existing buildings and inform new projects.

ZZA works at all spatial scales – urban, campus, building and interior, covering a wide range of locations, building types and business sectors. We contribute at all project stages – from vision and brief, through design strategy, to post occupancy evaluation. Clients use ZZA’s expertise and experience to help position their offers relative to cultural trends. Our user focus promotes design relevance and sustainable outcomes, differentiating projects and adding value.
