Where the next chapter begins

We’re an interior architectural design studio creating uplifting spaces for the care and later-living sectors.

We’re here to change the way people think about ageing – from something clinical and institutional to something vibrant, dignified, and full of possibility.

About us

We start with people

We take a ‘people first’ approach and design places that feel good to live and work in. We begin by understanding who’ll use them and design environments that reflect their needs, preferences, and lived experience.

Later life isn’t an ending. It’s simply the start of a new storyline. And it should be lived in spaces that feel inspiring, and full of life.

Because when a space is designed around people, everything feels better. Better surroundings. Better experiences. Better days.

Why Zest?

Ensuring every square metre works harder 

At Zest Living, we understand what makes spaces succeed commercially as well as experientially. That’s why we design with purpose. Nothing is added for show. Budgets, timelines, and outcomes matter as much as aesthetics.

Why Zest?

Designed for performance. Built for lasting value.

Architectural-led interior design considers how every element – lighting, acoustics, furniture placement, landscaping, and spatial flow – shapes how a space performs in real life.

We work with operators, developers and investors globally to respond to the commercial realities of care – bringing us in from the get go leads to better outcomes, from stronger occupancy and better resident experience to long-term value and brand positioning.

In good company

We’re proud members of the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) and the Society of British and International Interior Design (SBID), two of the UK’s leading professional bodies for interior design. We’re also affiliated to the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

These memberships reflect our commitment to high professional standards, continual development, and best practice across our work.

Once a project has been agreed, we focus on delivery, on time and on budget.
