Michel and his team have been building, renovating, and restoring homes in the greater San Diego area since 2004. Both his father and grandfather before him were also builders. Prior to founding ZMK, Michel was an engineer for 13 years.

While employed as an engineer, Michel purchased, restored, renovated and lived in vintage as well as modern homes. Michel’s general aptitude for architectural design and construction propelled him to a whole new level in his field.

Successfully completing this kind of ambitious undertaking requires the vision of a master craftsman directing a talented and experienced team. Michel Khozam, founder and president of ZMK, is a true master of his rare craft and a man who brings history to life. He creates living spaces, not museums where everything is frozen in time. The structures he restores become homes and buildings that people love living and working in every day.

“Our projects have run the gamut over the years from the simple facelift to a gut rehab,” Michel explains. “Every project involves careful planning, a respect for the history and a clear vision of the end goal. A lack of careful planning is often where many projects fail before they even get started. Our goal is to develop a transparent relationship with a home or building owner from the beginning, so they are empowered to make informed decisions that results in exactly what they envisioned.”
