About

Reducing architecture to the maximum. Zapp Architecture creates pure Design that is reduced to its bare essentials. By implying a process of investigation and analysis, the true essence of a design task is uncovered. A simple but strong storyline is created and sets the leitmotif for the coming design process. By purifying and by getting rid of everything that is dispensable, very simple and strong spaces appear, that provide a maximum in functionality and a maximum in spatial quality.
