My name is Zach. I have always had a passion for design. I have a particular interest in the integration of contemporary architecture into both modern and classic contexts, through maintaining historical elements in the future of architectural design.

A Cozinha: The Concept

A Cozinha: The Landscape

A Cozinha places emphasis on cultural and contextual sensitivity within architectural design. The surrounding landscape of the site in addition to the façade design is a testament to contextual integration, with emphasis on the connection to the surrounding environment.

The surrounding environment of the site is also a core component of the concept of the design, with communal farming and planters being integrated into the environment. The flow of the paths is also designed to be a fluid flow from the site surroundings to the building itself and the communal elements within the landscape.
