Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the firm offers a full
range of services in architecture, interior design, planning, and consulting.
The firm takes projects of all sizes and focuses primarily in residential new
construction and remodeling.

The firm's architecture gets its strength through the simplicity of forms. Its designs reflect an intuitive, common-sense approach to fulfilling the needs of the client. From start to finish, clients of this small practice receive a high degree
of individual attention from the firm's principal. The
firm listens to the wishes and concerns of every client, and, through many
conversations, turns each project into a clear embodiment of
the client's dreams. Akhavan Architecture's designs create a pleasant and comfortable environment for its occupants and are respectful of nature and its resources. The result is beautiful, elegant, and timeless.
Akhavan Architecture also believes in practicing
"green architecture." This philosophy involves using low-toxic and
recycled materials, maximizing energy efficiency, and minimizing the use of old
growth timber. The buildings are bioclimatic, meaning they are oriented to take advantage of the topography of the site, natural light, the summer breeze, and the good view, all while avoiding severe solar conditions. The goal is housing that directly
benefits individuals and families, the community, and the environment.
