Founder's Vision

Welcome to ZV Attkan Designs - where a passion for redefining living spaces shapes refined lifestyles. Founded on the belief that every space can be a masterpiece, our work reflects a balance of artistry, innovation, and individuality.

We go beyond building structures to craft meaningful experiences. Our architects, designers, and artisans collaborate seamlessly to transform ideas into thoughtfully designed environments where stories come to life.

From the beginning, our vision has been to integrate architecture, interiors, luxury art, handcrafted details, and real estate into a unified design language. Guided by a commitment to uncompromising quality, personalized solutions, and continuous innovation, each space we create becomes a true expression of identity and the art of living.

Step-1 The pre-design phase 

The first objective is to get together with a client and determines the overall project vision and goals. Irrespective of the industry being residential, healthcare, industrial, hospitality, etc., there are some key areas to discuss in the project - scope, features, purpose, and functionality.

 In this phase, we carry out

• Client consultation

• Existing conditions survey and documentation

• Photographs

• Measurements

• Compile existing drawings if any

• Prepare high-level base drawings

• Statement of probable build/construction cost

• Programming space and use

This phase ends with the owner’s decision to move forward with a project.

Step-2 The Schematic design phase 

In this phase, we do series of rough sketches/drawings that illustrate the basic concepts of the design.  Also, initial research of local compliance and regulations are completed at this time.

At the end of this phase, we deliver

• Floor plans of all levels with generic openings and plumbing fixtures

• Exterior building elevations with representative openings and finishes

• Building cross-section

• Typical wall section

And we move to the next phase with the owner’s approval.

Step-3 The Design Development phase

This phase involves finalizing the design and specifying items such as materials, window and door locations, and general structural details.

 At the end of this phase, we deliver

• Floor plans with a proposed basis of design openings and plumbing fixtures

• Overall dimensions

• Structural grid dimensions

• Interior wall dimensions

• Exterior elevations with a proposed basis of design openings and finishes

• Wall sections at all typical conditions

• Typical details

• Additional details to establish a basis for designing products

Now we have given shape to the project’s vision through drawings and written specifications.

Step-4 The Construction Drawing phase 

By now we have a final design. We can begin preparing construction drawings/blueprints, notes, and technical specifications necessary for bidding, construction, and permit application. Construction contractors will use these detailed drawings and specifications to prepare for the construction.

 In this phase, we deliver

• Floor plans fully annotated

• All dimensions

• Room, wall, door, and window identification

• Exterior elevations fully annotated

• All building sections required for construction

• Structural plans, details, and notes

• Plumbing plans, schedules, details, and notes

• HVAC plans, schedules, details, and notes

• Electrical power and lighting plans, schedules, details, and notes

And we move to the final phase

Step-5 The Construction phase 

Finally, the construction is underway.

During this phase, we will build as per the design intent. Also if there are any changes, we discuss changes and options with the owner. It ensures that alterations are compatible with the owner’s vision for the project. This is the last phase and at the end of this phase, a project is ready for use/occupancy.
