Since 1990, Zahn Design Architects has been working with clients to design projects that exceed expectations. We take pride in our high quality of design and our sensitivity to the scale and context of the neighborhood. Our designs seek to maximize light and openness, create comfortable and unique spaces, and respect and complement the city environment.

But great design starts with the client, and your project goals are important to us. From the earliest consultations, we will work with you to refine the project program and establish design priorities that will guide the project through its construction. We also understand our client’s concerns on budget and schedule, and we will assist you in keeping both in check throughout the project.

Zahn Design Architects also offers clients the expertise that comes with having completed over 200 condominium projects in the District. We have a broad understanding of the intricacies of multi-family residential design in DC, and whether your project deals with complex historic renovation, zoning or existing condition issues, we have a portfolio of projects that reflect various design solutions to such challenges.

Our experience in finding elegant solutions to code challenges in the condominium projects also informs and strengthens other project types, where the same attention to light, proportion and volume is balanced with the specific needs of your retail, office, or single family project.

Whether you are considering a new building development or simply a small addition, Zahn Design can help make your project a success!
