Timeless design. Thoughtfully crafted.
Intemporal Architecture is a full-service architecture and interior design studio based in Connecticut, working across the United States and internationally.
Our practice is grounded in three core principles: design excellence, thoughtful value, and a seamless client experience. We believe great architecture should not only elevate how a space looks and feels, but also how it is built and experienced throughout the process.
We work closely with clients to create homes that are both refined and enduring, while remaining mindful of budget and value at every stage. Equally important, we are committed to making the process of renovation, addition, or new home construction as smooth and stress-free as possible. From early design through construction, we act as a dedicated advocate for our clients, coordinating with builders, consultants, and contractors so they do not have to navigate the complexity alone.
While the studio engages in a range of project types, residential design is at the core of our practice. We collaborate closely with homeowners on new construction, renovations, and additions, shaping each project through a process that prioritizes clarity of concept, attention to detail, and alignment between design intent and execution.
Our work is developed through a fully integrated design process, where architecture and interiors are considered together from the outset. From initial concepts and site analysis through construction, we maintain close communication with all stakeholders to ensure that each project is executed with precision, clarity, and care.
At Intemporal Architecture, we believe that exceptional design is not a matter of scale, but of intention. Every project is an opportunity to create spaces that are timeless, functional, and quietly impactful, while giving our clients confidence and peace of mind throughout the journey.
Pouya Zhand, RA, AIA, NCARB
With a global architectural education and a deep interest in the philosophy of space, Pouya brings a thoughtful and design-driven approach to Intemporal Architecture. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Cardiff University in the United Kingdom and his Master of Architecture from Syracuse University. During his time at Syracuse, he served as a Studio Design Teaching Assistant and received the Alpha Rho Chi Medal for Leadership, Service, and Professional Merit, one of the highest honors awarded by the School of Architecture.
With nearly a decade of professional experience, Pouya has worked on a diverse range of projects including custom homes, multifamily residential developments, mixed-use buildings, hospitality, and higher education facilities. This breadth of experience informs a rigorous design process that balances creativity, technical precision, and careful attention to detail.
His work is influenced by the principles of phenomenology, the study of how we experience architecture through light, materials, proportion, and movement through space. For homeowners, this translates into environments that feel intentional, refined, and deeply connected to the way they live. Pouya approaches each project as an opportunity to craft spaces that are timeless, personal, and enduring.
