Practice Ideology
Experience value, use value and future value: Zecc designs clear buildings with a stimulating appearance; rational architecture with subtle nuances or sturdy buildings with refined details. The pursuit of clarity and excitement is not only an end goal for our architecture, but is also used as a design method.
Besides stimulating the senses, our designs are above all functional. A good organization of different functions must be in balance with a high experience value. We always work based on the specific conditions of the building or the historical layering of a place. Within the wishes and frameworks of the client, boundaries are explored and depth is sought. As a result, a pragmatic basic idea becomes increasingly sharp and exciting in its elaboration.
Zecc wants to make a positive contribution to the transition to a more sustainable built environment. We consider the concept of sustainability in the broadest sense of the word. That is why we look for design solutions with flexibility, aesthetic sustainability and technological innovation. We design in a nature-inclusive way where possible and look for the possibility of repurposing existing real estate.
Experties: Zecc is a mature architectural firm with two core activities: project-based housing construction and transformation of existing buildings and areas. In complex residential building projects, we regularly take on a coordinating role. Managing complexity and realizing sustainable and affordable buildings is something we are proud of.
We have extensive experience with Design & Build projects and construction team projects in a LEAN process with integrated BIM design methodologies, which we use both in the initial phase and in the elaboration of buildings.
We are aware of the ongoing changes around us. Innovation and adjustments in the built environment are necessary with a view to a more sustainable future. At the start and during the project we analyze where possible opportunities may lie with respect to sustainability. In this we are not dogmatic, but seek the right balance between functionality, aesthetics, cost and sustainability.
