Our process begins with understanding your vision, property, and project goals.

We develop permit-ready plans, coordinate approvals, and help move the project from early concepts toward construction with clarity and consistency.
We evaluate the property, zoning requirements, site conditions, project goals, and development potential to establish a clear foundation before architectural design begins.
Our dedicated CAD designer creates detailed floor plans and building blueprints, focusing on both aesthetics and functionality, while aligning with your vision and goals.
We manage all paperwork for the permit application submission and handle all communication with local authorities, ensuring that any necessary feedback and revisions are addressed to streamline the approval process.
Once permits are secured, we help coordinate the transition from architectural plans to construction, working with contractors and project teams to support the design through implementation.

Honestly didn't expect this level of attention from a boutique firm. The Ataman Studio team grasped our vision - we weren't looking for just another generic addition, but something that would blend seamlessly with Los Altos's unique hillside character. They worked efficiently without all the bureaucratic nonsense you get with larger firms. The final house design incorporates natural materials and clever sightlines that make our small lot feel twice as spacious. Couldn't be happier with the investment.
I have worked with Ataman Studio on projects, and it’s always a great experience. The plans are clear, easy to work with, and they’re always quick to respond if questions come up. Makes my job a lot smoother. Definitely recommend!
I’ve worked with a lot of design firms over the years, but this one really delivered. I came to them with a tricky hillside lot in Malibu and the goal of building a proper luxury mansion with big ocean views. They did a full site walk, pointing out where the light hits in the morning and how to position the pool for privacy. The layout they came up with has retractable glass walls, an infinity pool, and an outdoor kitchen that flows straight into the dining space — it feels like one big living area inside and out. The design phase was about four months. We met in their LA office a few times and did the rest over video calls while I was traveling. Anytime I asked for a change, they’d send back more than one option so I could pick what worked best. By the end, I knew this mansion house plan was going to be a highlight in my portfolio.
I was surprised how easy the process was. They handled all the drafting services, zoning questions, and even helped us get the ADU approved faster than expected!
Our detached ADU feels like a true home, not just a backyard shed. Everything is well-planned, and the layout works beautifully.
I'll be honest - we were skeptical about hiring a smaller design firm for our Beverly Hills mansion renovation. We're used to big names, fancy offices, the whole show. But Ataman Studio proved that talent trumps size every time. They redesigned our estate with such sophisticated attention to detail. The wine cellar alone is a masterpiece - temperature-controlled, custom millwork, even a tasting area with imported Italian marble. They coordinated with our interior designer seamlessly and managed to preserve the mansion's 1920s bones while giving it a completely contemporary feel. The entertaining spaces flow beautifully from the chef's kitchen through the great room to the outdoor pavilion. Honestly, we get compliments every time we host. Anna has created something truly special here - a home that's both a smart investment and an absolute joy to live in.
Andrew was instrumental in taking care of of the drawings for my remodel. As a contractor, I was truly appreciative of the knowledge that he had when it came to drawing the details of the project. The homeowner expressed tremendous satisfaction in not only how fast the drawings were completed, but also the detail of each area of the house. Even though it was a small addition to the house, Andrew made it a big priority, and was able to listen to all the recommendations, and put them all down into actual plans. The drawings were also able to be submitted to the building department, and we only needed to get the Structural Engineer detail, so it made a huge difference that Andrew had such detail for the Structural Engineer to add on, and then be able to submit to the city for the permit process. Thanks again for doing such an excellent job, I look forward to having you draw my next project. Brian Wimer Blue Bear Construction

I had a great experience working with Ataman Studio on my project in San Bernardino. We were adding a second-story addition to the main house and building a new 750 sq ft ADU — and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The team was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. They handled the design and permitting process with professionalism and care, and I always felt confident we were in good hands.

Andrew and his crew were very responsive. After I contacted him, he visited the site within 24 hours. A few days later, he delivered the draft plans for my proposed renovation and ADU. They walked us through all my potential issues and answered all our concerns. His team walked us through the process from beginning to end. In addition, he was very reasonable and delivered as promised. I highly recommend his team for future additions or an ADU project.
