1/ We do things differently as architects, urban designers, and engagement specialists.

While we're proud of our award-winning designs, what sets us apart is our commitment to working closely with communities.

2/ Understanding communities through observational research and direct engagement

We draw on our body of research and are leading experts in child-friendly design and youth engagement.

ECDC masterplan engagement

ZCD have initiated and designed the youth engagement process for the entire project, led each of the sessions and tours, and distilled the resulting feedback into a form which is powerful, insightful and can directly steer the design.

Jo McCafferty,

Director at Levitt Bernstein Architects

ZCD have created, coordinated and facilitated a very intensive and inclusive programme of engagement and ensured everyone has had a voice. Further, the project has had very tangible positive impacts on the lives of members outside of the process itself, it is the most impactful engagement our team has ever undertaken.
