Why Zebra Global Architecture?

A global, design-driven culture with heritage & reach

Zebra was founded in London over 25 years ago (established 1997) and has grown into a truly global design and architecture consultancy.
The firm operates through multiple international offices - including a U.S. office in Scottsdale, AZ - and delivers projects worldwide across North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific.
Zebra's global footprint means employees have exposure to international design practices, multi-cultural teams, and a variety of project types, giving you a chance to expand your experience well beyond "just local work."

Deep Expertise in Retail, Hospitality & QSR - including major brands like Shake Shack

Zebra specializes in consumer-focused architecture and design: transforming spaces so that they deliver brand experience, atmosphere, and a strong connection between consumer and environment.
Their portfolio spans a wide variety of sectors - from casual dining, luxury hotels, food markets, multi-brand malls, to commercial retail and travel hubs.
Specifically, Zebra has designed and executed more than 250 Shake Shack restaurants internationally - including flagship and ground-up stores - making them one of the leading architecture firms behind Shake Shack's global expansion.
Zebra is known for a "localization-meets-brand" design ethos: for Shake Shack, each restaurant is tailored to reflect local culture, environment, and architectural/ cultural cues - meaning you get a chance to produce unique, context-driven projects rather than "cookie-cutter" repeat designs.

Full-service capabilities - from concept to build-out and beyond

Zebra is not just a design studio; it offers a full range of services including architectural design, interior design, design implementation, brand strategy, and digital/immersive deliverables.
As licensed Architect of Record for both tenant-improvement (interior remodels) and ground-up building design across the U.S. and Canada, Zebra handles everything: site analysis, feasibility, schematic & design development, construction documents, permitting, project scheduling/coordination, construction administration, and close-out/owner's rep services.
The full-service model provides PMs at Zebra a rare ability to follow a project from brand concept through completed build-out and ultimately occupancy - offering comprehensive end-to-end project exposure.

Culture of creativity, collaboration & global perspective

Zebra emphasizes "design that connects" - connecting brand, people, space, and culture. Their work philosophy revolves around understanding the human experience, consumer behavior, and cultural context, which influences design decisions worldwide.
Working at Zebra gives access to a global, multicultural team: as of their 25th anniversary, Zebra reportedly had ~210 team members from ~25 nationalities, with links to ~50 countries.
For someone ambitious, this environment offers opportunities to learn, grow, and collaborate across markets - making each day varied, challenging, and globally informed rather than monotonous or insular.

Commitment to quality, consistency, and brand standards - even across global rollouts

Zebra's track record shows that even for global clients like Shake Shack, the firm doesn't sacrifice local identity: they craft context-sensitive designs that consider culture, architecture, materials, and consumer expectations for each location.
This commitment gives Project Managers the opportunity to work with high design and construction standards across many markets - building a robust portfolio and strong reputation.

Stability, brand-level clients, and opportunity for growth

With decades of experience, hundreds of brand relationships, and a global presence - Zebra offers long-term stability and access to large-scale brand clients.
Given the global growth trajectory (especially with Shake Shack and other retail/hospitality clients), there's strong potential for career development, leadership opportunities, and association with high-visibility projects that add serious weight to your resume.
