We love taking time to connect as a team, catch up, and celebrate milestones together. Happy 120th!

Please welcome Teagan Bignell to our Healthcare studio! 👋

Teagan joins Zimmerman as an Architectural Technician, bringing a unique perspective shaped by her studies at UWM and her time in Barcelona. Authentic, creative, and grounded, she prioritizes the "human side" of every project and how a space can help people feel, heal, and connect.

"As a college student in Milwaukee, I always aspired to work at a place like Zimmerman. I’m incredibly grateful and excited to now call Zimmerman my new office and home, where I can contribute my humanitarian background to their healthcare studio."

We couldn’t be happier to have her passion and talent on the team!

Good vibes. Great design. Better company.

The Wisconsin Chapter of American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Design Excellence Awards Gala was the perfect celebration of how DESIGN IMPACTS LIVES. We loved reconnecting with our local design family and celebrating our clients' success!

BRONZE | Racine Unified Schools - Starbuck K-8 School 🥉

Cheers to the Wisconsin design community for a night of pure inspiration! 🥂

Good architecture considers what surrounds it; and so do we.

Our team stepped out of the office to clean up the neighborhood we call home base. No renderings, no deadlines — just colleagues, gloves, and a few blocks worth of trash bags. The built environment only goes as far as the community it sits in, and we think that's worth showing up for.

Happy Earth Day from our crew to yours. 🌱

In honor of National Donate Life Month, we’re taking a closer look at a project that sits at the intersection of high-tech engineering and human hope: the UW Health Transplant Perfusion Lab.

These three new labs are designed specifically for organ perfusion; a process that keeps donated organs viable outside the body by mimicking natural circulation. This isn't just about square footage; it’s about creating a precision-controlled environment where technology can:

-Extend the "golden hour" for organ viability.
-Improve post-transplant success rates.
-Ensure more donated gifts find their way to waiting patients.

We are proud to partner with institutions like UW Health to build the infrastructure of tomorrow’s medicine.

What a night with IIDA Wisconsin. ✨

The 2026 Celebrate in Design Awards ceremony was a showcase of the outstanding creativity, innovation, and leadership within our design community. We’re headed back to the studio feeling inspired after three of our projects were recognized in the Community & Culture and Workplace categories:

🏆1st Place - Green County Family YMCA
⭐Honorable Mention - Mission94 Fi****ms Education Center
⭐Honorable Mention - Waushara County Government Center

Design is a team sport, and these awards belong just as much to our incredible clients and partners as they do to our interior design team. It’s all about the collaboration that happens before the doors even open.

Puzzle play is the process of arranging spatial elements to explore and optimize design solutions. 🧩

This semester, our interior design studio has the privilege of facilitating a healthcare interiors class for students from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and Concordia University Wisconsin.

Last class, our healthcare studio led a hands-on puzzle play activity, giving students the chance to experiment with programmatic elements before finalizing their layouts. The students embraced the challenge, pushing boundaries and uncovering fresh ideas, proving that creativity is a powerful force in solving complex healthcare challenges with human-centered solutions.

Having the opportunity to share our experience and passion for healthcare interior design, and to help equip the next generation of designers with essential planning tools, is truly rewarding.
