Founded in São Paulo in 2021, after more than ten years operating as Gensler in Brazil, Zien draws on its experience, global vision, and the talent of its team to dive headfirst into new challenges and question the way we build spaces and cities.
We are a young, restless, and provocative architecture studio. We were born from a constant search for innovation, creating projects that contribute to the development of society and enhance the lives of those who experience them. We aim not only to meet the objectives of each project but also to generate value through our design.
We value the sharing of ideas and foster a collaborative environment where creativity can flourish. Passion for design, commitment to our clients, and a continuous pursuit of new ideas define our approach and guide us through a wide range of challenges.
We are meticulous and attentive to details; we dive deep into every creation to consistently deliver excellence in design. Among our highlighted projects is 280 Art Boulevard, a residential high-rise in São Paulo, and Tom Delfim Moreira, a residential building in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro. The combination of innovation and careful attention to every detail earned Tom the prestigious FIABCI Master Real Estate Award in 2022 and selection as Best Architecture Project by the Robb Report Design Awards Brazil 2025.
We are open to the unknown and unafraid of making mistakes. We are Zien.
