About Zarch Collaboratives

Zarch is an architecture studio established in 1999 that has, over time, developed a practice centred in architecture, yet in equal parts daringly and comfortably crossing multiple fields and disciplines in its approach to spatial design. Building upon a collaborative vision where interaction between like-minded individuals both within and without is valued as part of the creative process, the studio has at various points in its growth found itself nestled within a community that included a graphic studio, a bar and a cafe. The team works in a tightly-knit studio, where a buoyant open ecology of effervescent conversations and intensive dialogue is valued. Working across varying scales and complexities, our portfolio is continuously expanding as we confound expectations and re-write the rulebook as to what an architecture studio should be.
