Zachariah Consultants is an architecture and design firm that helps companies and organizations create innovative places and identities. The firm’s practice is characterized by a combined emphasis on design excellence and high standards of client service. For over 45 years, we have designed communities, institutions, hotels, and commercial & residential developments that have enhanced people’s lives through better architecture and design.
To be a leading architectural firm that partners with clients to develop architectural solutions with community sensibilities and environmental considerations in mind, leading to long-term valued relationships.
We at ZC believe that the onus of responsible design lies with the architect. this is becoming increasingly difficult given the diminishing environmental resource base that we have to work with.
Secondly, whether people are fully conscious or not, they actually derive countenance and sustenance from the “atmosphere” of the things they live in or with. it is becoming an extension of their personal identity, a means of projecting who they are and what they stand for. the mass society that was characterized by a universal consumption standard has evolved into a heterogeneous society of the multitude.
Therefore, we need to extend the boundaries of existing architectural philosophy to develop a unique design that allows us to maximize space utilization, create integrated spaces, conserve limited natural resources and encourage a community feel. we encourage our team to experiment with spatial dynamics that create project ideas that are practical, sensible and new. the responsibility of marrying art, architecture and eco-conservation is not something we can do alone; we need clients who share the same ideologies. together, we can make a difference…
