Architecture for Animals & Zoo design
Recreating ecosystems, designing harmony
I recreate multidimensional ecosystems, blending ancestral wisdom with modern needs, establishing harmony between humans and animals sharing this planet.
Looking for innovative animal habitats that respect nature & inspire meaningful connections between humans, animals, and the environment?
At HAZKOBA, I design living landscapes that support animal well-being, environmental balance, and meaningful human connection.
Since 2017, I’ve led my architectural studio, collaborating with zoological parks, wildlife sanctuaries, rewilding parks, veterinary facilities, and private animal collections around the world to create habitats where nature and design work as one.

Welcome to HAZKOBA, where engineering meets alchemy.
At HAZKOBA, my practice is driven by three core principles:
- Inspiration: Drawing from the Earth, ancestral wisdom, mythologies, symbologies, and cultural traditions to create spaces that resonate deeply with nature and humanity.
- Innovation: Solving challenges in animal architecture, going beyond international welfare standards, and incorporating a holistic approach to design.
- Connection: Bridging people and nature through human senses, reminding us of our intrinsic connection to planet Earth through conscious design.
If your vision calls for something beyond convention, I’d love to explore it with you.

Nadia's concept designs were of a high standard and were exactly what we required to proceed with our projects.
In our experience, we have found Ms Riley to be well connected in the zoo world, efficient and prompt in the production of her promised work, and as such I would have no hesitation in recommending her company Hazkoba to any prospective clients who wish to engage her.
