The ZED Difference

Our design team is composed of professionals from the fields of architecture, mechanical design and finance. This integrated design approach yields holistically designed solutions and brings much needed technical and financial rigor to the residential sector.
OUR DESIGNS TRANSCEND STYLE
Our designs may take cues from vernacular styles, but they are uniquely adapted to the site and our client's aesthetic tastes.
Beauty. Wellness. Performance.

Design Visualization
We produce a wide array of visualizations and renderings to help our clients understand the design before it's constructed. Renderings convey space in three dimensions and can aid in the development of design features and material selections. As a design communication tool, renderings are important because they effectively allow clients to preview how their decisions will impact home aesthetics.

Occupant Comfort and Health
We provide green and healthy building materials options with easy to understand explanations of their benefits. Healthy indoor air quality is an important goal that we target by specifying and recommending low- or no-VOC materials and finishes or designing energy efficient ventilation systems that ensure consistent, fresh indoor air.

Building Science
Building science applies physics principles to home construction, ensuring the longevity of the built home. These techniques holistically consider the interactions between the building, its occupants, and the climate and environment in which it exists. Applying these principles on paper is meaningless if the details are not successfully executed in the field. We work with the builder on each project to ensure that our construction details are both implementable and meet the principles of sound building science, thus ensuring a long-lasting, healthy home or building.
