spaces that last generations
ZTP Studio is an Evanston based firm dedicated to the art of design and construction. We work collaboratively with clients to produce creative and cost effective solutions that contribute to a thriving environmental fabric. With an intimate knowledge of materials and construction techniques, ZTP Studio works in concert with owners, regulatory bodies, and contractors to ensure that projects are built as they were envisioned. Our process results in decades long relationships that continue to build over time, helping us to realize spaces of clarify and beauty that function extremely well for our clients over the long term.
