Founder's Vision

Welcome to ZV Attkan Designs, a vision born from the passion to redefine living spaces and elevate lifestyles. Our journey began with a simple belief—that every space has the potential to be a masterpiece, a reflection of artistry, innovation, and individuality.

 At ZV Attkan Designs, we're not just creating buildings; we're crafting experiences. Our architects, designers, and artisans work harmoniously to bring dreams to life, turning every project into a canvas where stories unfold.

 From the inception of this company, my goal has been clear: to seamlessly integrate architecture, interiors, luxury arts, handcrafted treasures, and real estate. It's about creating a synergy that goes beyond aesthetics, embracing the essence of living.

 As a founder, I am committed to upholding the values of uncompromising quality, tailor-made experiences, and a relentless pursuit of innovation. Our spaces are not just functional; they are an expression of identity, a testament to the unique narratives of those who inhabit them.

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.
