Awe-Inspiring Hospitality Design that works

We’re an architecture and interior design studio specialising in high-end hospitality and F&B spaces.

Since 1998, we’ve been designing restaurants, bars, and hotels that feel good, are operationally sharp and commercially successful.

Founded by Hernan Zanghellini, ZH has earned a reputation as one of Asia’s leading hospitality design studios. With over 750 completed projects worldwide, our work spans collaborations with global brands like The Peninsula, Shangri-La, Hyatt, Swire, and Galaxy Macau, as well as iconic Hong Kong institutions such as The Peak Lookout, The Foreign Correspondents’ Club, and Jimmy’s Kitchen.

What sets us apart is our deep understanding of how hospitality spaces work —  behind the scenes and in front of guests. We combine design excellence with real-world operational insight to create spaces that flow, function, and resonate.

We believe in honest work, thoughtful design, and solutions tailored to each client. Every project is a dialogue  — between brand and space, guest and experience, vision and viability. The result? Spaces that endure and people return to.

F&B Design

Where people gather, design matters most.

Restaurants, bars, and clubs are where stories unfold, memories are made, and everyday rituals become experiences. With deep roots in the F&B world, we bring both operational insight and design sensitivity to each project —  creating spaces that serve the people who run them and the guests who return to them.

Commercial & Retail Design

Every commercial space carries a brand’s identity and ambition.

We approach each project with a strategic mindset — designing environments that reflect your values, engage your audience, and evolve with your business goals.

Residential Design

A well-designed home supports well-being — practically and emotionally. Whether it’s a private residence or a large-scale development, we collaborate closely to shape living spaces that reflect how you live, move, and grow.

Whether it’s for guests, residents, or customers — we design with people in mind, and with an eye on clarity, comfort, and long-term use.
