Architecture

Design is an important strategic asset – it affects how people think, feel and act; it reinforces each organization’s unique positioning, values and brand; and, it expresses each client’s unique vision, values and priorities. ZAS’s strategic thinking is the magic that connects them all.

ZAS is a full service architecture, interior design and planning firm that builds high performance environments of lasting value. Our quarter century of success is rooted in a studio culture that emphasizes entrepreneurial energy, accessible project leadership and a thorough understanding of each client’s business. Client loyalty is our performance metric.

ZAS began in 1984 as a Canadian architectural partnership focused on high-quality design supported by expertise in service and management. It has since expanded into a multifaceted consulting organization with a high-profile international clientele.
