ZILKA Studio established in 2005, is a practice that listens carefully to the client needs and incorporates this with the experience and understanding around changing needs over time. Issues of space, sun/shade, relationship to the exterior, and materials are approached in a collaborative way where design is the key driver in decisions around site, program and use. Leanne has always been passionate about geometry and materiality studying and understanding better ways to build complex shapes. ZILKA Studio has a team of staff equally dedicated to delivering projects that are possibly yet push the spatial experience for the client.
