how we work

ZINN designs spaces to elevate the everyday experiences of their occupants. Our projects are not only functional, but work well on many intersecting levels, from aesthetics to psychology to waterproofing to creativity. Through a process-oriented approach, we focus on our clients’ experiences rather than just the walls that shelter them. At ZINN, we strive to frame everyday movement/activities in their most beautiful and humane light.

Our values inspire us on a daily basis to be:

Careful / diligent / deliberate
Creative
Probing
Curious
Experiential
Caring
