"IF ARCHITECTURE IS FROZEN MUSIC, THEN MUSIC MUST BE LIQUID ARCHITECTURE."

ABOUT

OUR PURPOSE

TO COMMUNICATE WITHOUT WORDS IS AN ART... ARCHITECTURE IS OUR INSTRUMENT.

STUDIO ZENDER HAS EMBARKED ON A JOURNEY TO EXPLORE, VISUALIZE, DESIGN, DEVELOP, EXPERIENCE, AND ADVANCE A HEALTHY, HARMONIOUS, ALLURING, LUCRATIVE AND SUSTAINABLE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

ON THIS QUEST, WE SEEK OUT KINDRED CLIENTS, TEAMS, COLLABORATORS AND COMMUNITIES WHO STRENGTHEN US... FOR THEY HELP QUIET THE NOISE AND MAKE THE ORCHESTRA MORE VIBRANT.

OUR VISION

IT IS GREAT TO DREAM... IT IS BETTER TO HUSTLE.

AT STUDIO ZENDER WE CONSISTENTLY DO BOTH TO MAXIMIZE THEIR COMBINED MOMENTUM IN OUR EFFORTS TO CREATE THE PROJECTS, RELATIONSHIPS AND OUTCOMES THAT WE ADMIRE.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT TO BE GOOD WE MUST DO GOOD, AND TO DO WELL WE MUST BE WELL. THIS OPTIMISTIC PHILOSOPHY IS THE FOCUS OF OUR VISION, AND WHEN ALIGNED WITH A CLIENT'S CORE VALUES, WE BELIEVE IT CAN TRANSCEND DESIGN LIMITATIONS, ECONOMIC BARRIERS, AND THE STATUS QUO SO WE MAY PROGRESS TOWARD A MORE WHOLISTIC, UNIFIED AND PRODUCTIVE SOCIETY THAT CONSTANTLY SEEKS TO IMPROVE ITSELF WHILE IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS, NOT AT THEIR EXPENSE.

WE SPECIALIZE IN SPACES AND PLACES WHERE HOSPITALITY, IN ITS TRUEST DEFINITION, IS THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THIS ALLOWS US TO ENVISION A WIDE ARRAY OF PROJECT TYPES WHERE HAVENS OF RECHARGING, CONNECTING, GATHERING, ENTERTAINING AND SERVING CAN BRIDGE THE INTIMATE AND EXPANSIVE, THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR, THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC EXPERIENCE. AND AS CARETAKERS OF SITES AND ECOSYSTEMS, WE LEAD METICULOUS EFFORTS TO MEET SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE GOALS.

OUR VALUES

A SOCIETY REVEALS ITS FLUCTUATING VALUES IN ALL THAT IT BUILDS... AND IN ALL THAT IT DOES NOT.

THE FOUNDATION OF OUR WORK ETHIC COMES FROM THE ENTREPRENEURIAL ASPIRATION, DEDICATION AND DETERMINATION OF STUDIO ZENDER FOUNDER / PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT, ENRIQUE ZENDER AIA. OUR VALUES ARE ANCHORED IN THE INESCAPABLE REALITY THAT EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED, ESPECIALLY IN THE COMPLEX FABRIC OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. AS THE PROFESSIONS OF ARCHITECTURE, DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION EVOLVE IN OUR TECHNOLOGICALLY DEPENDENT WORLD, SO MUST THEIR ECONOMIES IN ORDER TO PRIORITIZE OUR MOST SACRED RESOURCES, ETHEREAL AESTHETICS, AND A BALANCED QUALITY OF LIFE. THE FOLLOWING BEGINS TO EXPRESS OUR VALUES, ETHICS, IDEALS, BELIEFS, AND STANDARDS:

EFFICIENT TRANSPARENCY... INQUISITIVE DIALOGUE... DIVERSE INPUT... INTERSECTING PERSPECTIVES... COLLABORATIVE ESSENCE... INVESTIGATIVE RESEARCH... PROLIFIC ALTERNATIVES... AGILE PROGRAMMING... INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS... RECIPROCAL HOSPITALITY... BOLD AESTHETICS... ENDURING STEWARDSHIP...

OUR PROCESS

CUSTOMIZED DESIGN IS A PERSONALIZED LANGUAGE... A DIALECT OF GOALS AND STRATEGIES.

RHYTHM... SPACE... TEXTURE...

PROPORTION... HARMONY... DYNAMICS...

STUDIO ZENDER APPROACHES ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN WITH A PROCESS AKIN TO MUSICAL COMPOSITION, FROM CREATIVITY AND ARRANGEMENT TO ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION. AS MUSIC IS THE FLUID LANDSCAPE FOR THE EARS, ARCHITECTURE IS THE FLOWING LANDSCAPE FOR THE EYES.

WITH 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN ARCHITECTURE, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, INTERIOR DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILE TECHNOLOGIES, I HAVE DEVELOPED A FRUITFUL DESIGN PROCESS THAT CENTERS ON PROMPT PRECISE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CLIENT, STAKEHOLDERS, DESIGN TEAM, CONSTRUCTION TEAM, END-USER, AND COMMUNITY. THIS PROCESS — BLUE SKY THINKING, INTEGRATED DESIGN, MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION, EMERGING TECHNOLOGY, CONSTRUCTION EFFICIENCY, ECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS — BEGAN WITH MY FORMAL EDUCATION AND HAS EVOLVED DURING MY CAREER IN MY INNOVATIVE HOME OF COASTAL CALIFORNIA AND HEAVENLY SANCTUARY OF HAWAII. AS THIS PROCESS FLOURISHES, MY FAMILY TIES TO PERU, REGULAR TRIPS TO LATIN AMERICA, AND DECADES OF GLOBAL TRAVEL EXPERIENCES ALSO INFLUENCE MY MACRO VISION OF WHAT IS IMMEDIATELY NECESSARY, CURRENTLY POSSIBLE AND PROVEN SUCCESSFUL IN OUR URBAN LANDSCAPES.

I AM HUMBLED AND THRILLED FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING YOUR CONCEPTUAL PROJECT TO LIFE IN THE FORM OF BEAUTIFUL, FUNCTIONAL, ENDURING AND PROFITABLE ARCHITECTURE. MY EXPERTISE AND PROFICIENCY, TOGETHER WITH MY STELLAR TEAM AND CONSULTANTS, WILL SERVE AS THE GUIDING MAP ALONG OUR EXCITING EXPEDITION ON THE MOST EFFICIENT PATH POSSIBLE ALONG A CAREFULLY TRACKED TIMELINE.

I TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME IN EXPLORING OUR WEBSITE AS AN INTRODUCTION TO MY FIRM, AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO AN ENGAGING CONVERSATION WITH YOU IN PERSON... LET'S CONNECT

THANK YOU... GRACIAS... MAHALO...
