Integrated and adaptable

ZHA’s mixed-use buildings form micro-hubs within a city, independent but not isolated. Developments combining residential, office, and entertainment areas optimise space and efficiency and integrate organically with their surroundings. Our buildings harmonise disparate functions with clever mixed-use designs to provide dynamic, sustainable solutions to modern urban living.

Pierresvives Archive & Library

The Pierresvives building for the department de l’Herault is the unification of three institutions – the archive, the library and the sports department – within a single envelope. These various parts combine to create a building with a strong single identity when viewed at a distance, but as one moves closer, the division into three parts becomes apparent.

Vauxhall Cross Island

The design responds to Lambeth Council’s aspirations for a district centre for Vauxhall by creating a vibrant new public square adjacent to the busy rail, underground and bus interchange. The proposal also accommodates TfL’s existing plans to upgrade the traffic gyratory and bus station to provide greater accessibility and safety for all.
