The design concept for Start Weizman worldwide is a playful dialogue of geometries; creating a rhythm of folds and recesses that have been shaped further by functional and ergonomic considerations. The store’s central display units have been designed to showcase the Stuart Weitman collection and also provide seating. The juxtaposition of these distinct elements of the design defines the different areas of the store. Rooted in a palette of subtle monochromatic shades, the design creates an interior landscape of discovery centered on two separate zones to enhance the relationship between the customer and the collection.
An intricate combination of materials and construction technologies have further defined the spatial experience. The curved modular seating and freestanding display elements have been constructed from fiberglass dipped in rose gold – a technique similar to that used in boat manufacturing. Also, the glass-reinforced concrete of the store’s walls and ceiling expresses solidity whilst at the same time the precision of complex curvatures generate focal points and areas for display.
ZHA have divided the Stuart Weitzman design concept into invariant and adaptive elements. Enabling the design to establish unique relationships within each worldwide location; yet also enable every store to be recognized as a Stuart Weitzman space. Additional flagship stores by ZHA are planned over the next few years and will be strategically located around the globe.
Interior Architecture
From flagship retail stores to private homes, historic palazzos to museum galleries, offices to hotels, explore the depth and breadth of our interior architecture projects

The interior design of Infinitus Plaza continues the architectural narrative established by the building’s exterior form. Echoing the symbol for infinity (∞), the design creates a series of shared indoor and outdoor spaces that reflect Infinitus’ core values: connection, adaptability, and collective well-being.
The Serpentine North Gallery consists of two distinct parts, namely the conversion of a classical 19th century brick structure – The Magazine – and a 21st century tensile structure. The Serpentine North Gallery is thus – after MAXXI in Rome – the second art space where ZHA have created a synthesis of old and new.

From the beginning of her career, architect Zaha Hadid sited her buildings in the air, floating buildings on shadow, light, and seams of space that lifted volumes above the ground, relating her work to another tradition—Rome’s. In designing the hotel conversion of the Palazzo Capponi, Hadid and her team at ZHA started where Baroque architects ended their palimpsest - at the vaulted ceilings.

Our concept echoes the brand’s minimalism and use of fixed points, folds, pleats and cut outs. Space in the store is defined not in terms of rooms but as a passage through which customers circulate. Furniture, sculpture, textures and colours on both store floors explore the interplay between male and female.

Il Makiage has launched a collection with a pavilion at 490 Broadway by ZHA that is informed by the label’s characteristically bold graphic identity.

A new language of domestic architecture; a new dialogue between the complex, continuous nature of merging forms and textures. A dynamic project to design the 30-room floor of a hotel, driven by new developments in digital design and enhanced manufacturing capabilities. A fluid space, a seamless experience; pushing the boundaries of spatial concepts.

Fire part of the project, Lounge Area
Fire meets ice to create two strange, synthetic worlds in Moonsoon. A formal eating area features cool greys, tables reinvented as ice shards, and a raised ‘iceberg’ floor area. Above, a furnace of fire contrasts the relaxation lounge – all searing reds, brilliant yellows and exuberant oranges.

Mathematics: The Winton Gallery brings together remarkable stories, historical artefacts and design to highlight the central role of mathematical practice in all our lives, and explores how mathematicians, their tools and ideas have helped build the modern world over the past four centuries.
