Manuel Zeitlin Architects

Manuel Zeitlin Architects is an award winning, Nashville based architecture firm. We approach each project autonomously and treat each problem as unique; we find architectural resolutions to complex challenges in both predictable and unexpected ways, however, different clients with different sites inevitably yield different results. Founded in 1981, MZA has developed experience with a wide range of client and project types across the country. Ranging from mixed-use sustainably designed developments in urban contexts, to preservation award-winning projects involving the adaptive reuse of historical structures, to James Beard nominated restaurants, to custom modern residences, MZA seeks out ventures that provide exciting design opportunities to push our abilities as creative problem solvers. MZA values our clients, our people and the quality of our work. Our success since 1981 can be attributed to these three elements, and our commitment to them has attracted both great clients and great people. Entwined through these values is our passion for sustainable, smart, green design. These are not “catch phrases” for us, but professional choices we embrace as a part of our of lives. These ideals have earned the confidence of private and public partners who want to build great places that many generations will enjoy.
