ZAKAA Architecture was founded in 2021 by ZArdasht Aziz and KAiwan Kawa. Both co-founders brought over 10 years of prior experience in architecture and design to the firm. Based in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, ZAKAA operates across the entire country.
ZAKAA is an architectural office specializing in architecture, interior design, and landscape design. We do not adhere to a specific architectural style or trend; instead, we contemporize our design ideas to provide fully tailored solutions for our clients. With each project, we strive to explore new realities, conserve resources, and maximize potential. Our approach is rooted in responsibility, ensuring that every new project acts as a continuation of previous ones through shared strategies and methodologies. As a detail-oriented practice, we prioritize light, materiality, and local craftsmanship—essential elements of our workflow.
