— About

ZAP Architecture is a group of talented architects, interior designers, landscape artists and project managers.

ZAP are committed to building, creating, inventing, imagining and delivering. ZAP pride themselves on the ‘added value’ they bring to any project. ZAP are experts in gaining planning permission for ambitious schemes on difficult sites. ZAP are an authority on ‘meanwhile uses’ on redundant land; ranging from pop-up shops, bars, cinemas, al-fresco dining or community amenities. ZAP have a prolific combined experience in residential design, event design, commercial design and landscape projects.

We’re a talented team of all-rounders collaborating with our clients to develop meaningful and authentic spaces. We’re open-minded, our clients come from all sectors, from family-run businesses to global corporates and everything in between. It keeps us fresh and our work interesting.

We’re small but mighty. From the biggest ideas to the tiniest of details we are a multidisciplinary agency without the big agency complications. It works because we are nimble on our feet, small enough to keep it personal, yet big enough to tackle large scale campaigns and projects. We like to keep our studio grounded and friendly, to enjoy collaboration, and have relationships with our partners that last long term.

It’s simple. Listen to our partners, understand their audience, solve their problems.

Description of Project

ZAP was founded and is managed by Pol Gallagher M.Arch, B.Arch (RIBA ARB) after winning an international design competition. Pol has worked for Grimshaw Architects (Eden Project), Hopkins Architects (Olympic Velodrome) and Sarah Wigglesworth Architects (Sandal Magna School) before curating a new type of studio culture encapsulating art, design and place-making. Pol leads his team of designers gathered from all over the world. Pol bases himself in London, with ZAP outposts in Donegal (Ireland) and Barcelona (Catelonia).

ZAP Architecture is a high end design collaborative blurring the boundaries between art and architecture. ZAP aim to go the extra mile for their clients to create something truly bespoke and thought provoking. Scale is something that interests ZAP meaning no job is too big, too small or unworthy. Our work ranges from conventional residential planning applications to high end fashion events, bespoke furniture, animated gardens to pop-up restaurants. ZAP wait anxiously on new and exciting briefs and clients to engage with. Creativity is something we live and breathe here in the ZAP office. The Architect’s Journal cited ZAP as the “young one’s to watch”
