Zahra Badaoui

Zahra has worked in a variety of sectors across all RIBA stages, including large scale mixed-use and commercial developments, retrofits, heritage, residential, hospitality and Passivhaus schemes in the UK and internationally.

Her interests lie in designing socially conscious and sustainable architecture, with a particular focus on innovation in architectural practice through technology. During her studies, she collaborated with communities in London, exploring themes of identity and diaspora through artefacts and architecture, using digital architecture as a medium of exploration. For her masters, she also worked on a research piece on regenerative and resilient timber species for building, and the prototype was on display as part of a public exhibition at Central Saint Martin’s Lethaby Gallery.

Zahra rejoined the practice in 2023 after completing her RIBA Part II at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, and qualified as an Architect in 2024.
