Why Work With Zand Design

Good architecture is not created by applying the same design language to every site. We begin by understanding the property, planning constraints, brief, budget and the outcome our client is trying to achieve.

From there, architecture and feasibility develop together. This is particularly important in Sydney, where setbacks, height controls, heritage requirements, site access, topography and council provisions can significantly influence what is achievable.
