About the practice

ZCD Architects works on a variety of projects across the private and public sectors, offering a range of services from feasibility studies and urban design proposals to the delivery of small-scale bespoke projects and larger new build developments. Our way of working is mutually beneficial to each approach which means we can offer a full package from community engagement, masterplanning, research and urban design advice, through to design development and delivery. Our experience in designing and delivering high quality, award winning buildings means we are able to provide full architectural services on new projects on a range of sizes. We have a particular expertise in gaining planning permission and funding for new proposals in sensitive locations and tight sites. At the heart of the way we work is a commitment to high quality design with a social purpose. This is supported through a programme of research that puts people at the heart of developments. We have worked with the Homes and Communities Agency, UK Green Building Council on their report 'Health and Wellbeing in Homes', NHBC Foundation and others. Our fresh approach to urban design in residential schemes means we can help shape new projects with a view to meeting policy objectives. We are dedicated to working with our clients to create high-quality developments that will meet the needs of their communities now and into the future.
