Zita Greenup Principal

Zita grew up in Czechoslovakia in a family of builders. After completing the training in architecture and urban design, Zita was looking to test her knowledge and abilities by designing projects “ahead of their time,” as it was remarked. Zita joined the Film studio Barrandov in Prague. The idea of working in the film industry inspired the possibility of freedom of design.  Her expectations were not met, so Zita thought to move out.  She spent a year in Austria and then found her way to the United States and the West Coast.  In spite of a few accomplishments and earning a certain respect in the field of design, Zita had to start from the very beginning.   Completing architectural training in Europe involves rigorous coursework along with hands-on work experience on building sites and in offices, as well as earning a professional license.  It all came in handy when in a few years Zita found ZiTADESiGN in Santa Barbara, ca.

ZIta, thank you so much for your help in getting our plans ready for the city of Oxnard. Hopefully we will be able to get started soon. When we are ready to start our new project, I'll get in touch with you. I really look forward to working from start to finish with you on the next one; I know it will be much easier and it will be done correctly and I'll learn a lot in the process. Thanx again!

Architecture and Love of Travel

I dislike sameness.  Routine. Schedule. Things that are repeated day after day.  It makes time go by so quickly that, without the phone and pictures taken, there would not be a tangible, visible record of the time that has gone by. I love to travel.  More than just a passion, I need to travel. I […]

Progressive Stages of the Architectural Design Process

Designing a home involves several stages, which can be divided into phases within the architectural process. The first phase, known as the Program, focuses on understanding the client’s desires, plans, hopes, urgency, and budget—essentially the practical aspects of the design. Following this, site visits are conducted, leading to the Preliminary Design phase. During the Preliminary […]

Where the magic still lives or Project of Love

Rock Atelier is that project – deeply connected to thousands of years of history.  One can only imagine or can’t help but imagine the many years and stories encapsulated within the stone walls that still define this place. What inspired this structure? What was life like here? Who were the people who lived in this […]
