Services
Architecture
Architecture is the art and science of designing and creating buildings and other structures. Think of it like making a blueprint for a house or a school, where you decide how it should look, how it will function, and how it will fit into its surroundings. It's not just about making things look nice; it's also about making sure they are safe, practical, and meet the needs of the people who will use them
Interior Architecture
Interior architecture focuses on designing and arranging the inside spaces For example, interior architects might add or remove structural elements like walls or rooms and make sure everything meets building codes. Interior decor, on the other hand, is about adding style and personality to those spaces. It involves choosing colors, furniture, and decorations to make a room look beautiful Nzuza Architects service does NOT include Interior Décor, only Interior Architecture
Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture is about designing outdoor spaces to make them both beautiful and functional. It involves planning things like parks, gardens, and public areas, considering how people will use them and how they fit into the environment. This can include designing paths, choosing plants, and making sure the space is comfortable and practical. In short, landscape architects create attractive and useful outdoor areas where people can enjoy and interact with nature
