Residential

Crafting the ideal home

At ZHA, we know that every home tells a story. Whether an individual family house or a dynamic apartment building, our residences are crafted to reflect who their inhabitants are and how they want to live.

Spaces of fluidity and ease

Our approach is rooted in designing homes that unfold seamlessly, with column-free, adaptable spaces that maximise views. The architecture subtly invites inhabitants to move from one space to another with ease. Weaving together a range of atmospheres that provide the flexibility to live, work, and play, we craft spaces that make an impression. Most importantly, we create spaces where people feel truly at home.

The Delmore

Situated on the beach at Surfside, The Delmore’s design is defined by its location and environment. ZHA’s detailed analysis of the oceanfront site mapped fluctuations in solar radiation, temperature, humidity, prevailing winds, air quality, rainfall, in addition to the variable ground and sea conditions throughout every day of the year.
