The RCLA MARU ARCHITECTS CO. had harnessed its artistic potential in Restaurant and Fastfood Design with the Members of its Team's expertise that started in the 1980's being the pioneer designers of Jollibee Foods Corporation, Greenwich and other high-end Interior Design Projects of the Z-Design Inc, one of the Leading Architecture/Interior Firm in Ayala Avenue, Makati during its era.

Some of their past works aside from high end offices and residential

were Outlets of the No. 1 Fastfood Chain in the Country, Jollibee Foods Corporation where they produced worth remembering Interior Concepts inspired by the Fastfood outlet's influences on Geographic Location, History and Culture.

It was a challenging Role then for Z-Design Inc to lift up Jollibee Outlets into the limelight above McDonalds as the prime rival on those years.
