ZJA

ZJA was founded in 1990 by Moshé Zwarts and Rein Jansma and has grown into an architectural studio of more than 50 people, led by Rob Torsing, Reinald Top, Ralph Kieft, Erik Smits and Kay Oosterman. The practice calls itself a studio with an inventor’s mentality, working on national and international projects mainly in infrastructure, sports and leisure, where construction and the making of space go hand in hand.

Sustainability and tools such as parametric design and AI are part of the process, and architecture is integrated with structural engineering from the conceptual stage. Recent work includes the Brittenpassage entrance at Amsterdam Zuid station, with Team V Architectuur and BoschSlabbers, and the P3 Leeghwater car park at Schiphol. The office sits at Pedro de Medinalaan 7 in Amsterdam.
