A plan for life: the Azhianeh approach
A plan for life describes our approach to architecture: spaces that receive morning light, accommodate work and company, and leave room for quiet. We read design quality through everyday use and the relationships between people, rooms, thresholds, neighbours and landscape.
Homes and workplaces are more than rooms detached from life. Work, children’s play, cooking, company and privacy shift throughout the day and often overlap. Design starts by understanding those relationships. Space connections, movement and the choice between company and solitude matter, bringing the programme closer to actual use and judging quality beyond a photograph or first visit.
Daylight, outlook and privacy influence how a space is occupied. Seating near a window, a considered living-room connection to a terrace and separation of quiet areas from busy routes can inform design. Their quality depends on orientation, climate and the brief. The aim is greater choice and better use, with calm arising from spatial relationships rather than a promised therapeutic outcome.
Life changes: households evolve, work moves home and needs for shared or separate rooms shift. Design should examine that possibility. Room proportions, openings, access and services can allow more future choice. Adaptability is considered within the project’s constraints from the beginning, so the building serves more than one brief moment in life and retains possibilities for later needs.
Architecture continues through maintenance, resource use and relationships with its surroundings. Materials, details and shared spaces are assessed against care and actual use. Development extends this question beyond an individual home to services, outdoor space and neighbourhood life. A plan for life becomes a criterion for choosing: how will today’s decision work during use, and what responsibility does it create for the building’s future?
TZ Group
Azhianeh is part of a larger idea. TZ is the group that brings architecture, development, investment and lifestyle together, because a good home is not made by a good drawing alone. It needs the right land, the right capital, careful construction and a life that continues after handover.
Two architects, one table. Dr Hassan Taheri and Dr Shokoufeh Zaheri have led design and construction together since 1385 (2006).
Architecture for ordinary days: for a Tuesday morning, not only the opening-day photo.

Architecture, structural engineering, development and construction.
Investment and residential projects: Rokan Sense, Rokan Line and Rokan Pine.
Lifestyle, nature, food and wellbeing, under the line "balance of mind and body".
Living by the Caspian, for us, means mornings that start with light, a terrace that is actually used, food from this land and a neighbourhood that protects calm. Architecture is only the vessel of this life, but a good vessel changes behaviour. We follow this idea in our Tarh-e Zendegi articles and in the shared spaces of our projects.
What we do not promise: guaranteed returns, future prices or certain outcomes. Each project is presented with its own documents, assumptions and risks.
