PROFILE
A TALE OF TWO BROTHERS
Toofan and Sepehr Toghyani are the names behind Zeno Entity Architects. Two brothers, who grew up in a family of musicians and fine artists, the pair have sustained their musical careers in parallel with their line of architectural work and have composed and performed with musicians from all over the world.
The inter-relation of music and architecture translates throughout Zeno Entity’s creative process and finished work. The rhythmic relations of tectonic form and well-proportioned facades interlink with functional dynamic spaces, elements, shapes and patterns. A journey through a building unfolds as a composition of delicately played notes leading to a perfect harmony of unity and diversity.
THE TEAM
Zeno Entity is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of young architects focused on the design and delivery of high-end residential buildings. From single boutique to luxury mega, family homes and holiday homes to medium-density townhouses and apartment developments our focus is on master planning, planning permits, documentation and on-site supervision of construction details in order to meet the design intent.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?
CUSTOMISING THE DESIGN TO YOUR LIFESTYLE
While staying within the confines of regulations we design building and spaces that are inspiring and pleasant to experience. We understand all building disciplines, properties of materials, textures, composition of functional and pleasurable spaces and forms, creating an outstanding design called homes catered for individuals and families with exclusive taste and lifestyle.
CREATIVITY AND DIVERSITY IN DESIGN
Every style of architecture has beauty in its history. The challenge is how to merge these styles with today’s trends to create timeless architecture.
Zeno Entity embraces modernism in design but with a strong awareness of the past, often injecting new life into former classical models. Thus, one often sees elements of Baroque classicism, Georgian and especially Art Deco reflected in our concepts.
Architecture has evolved far beyond the knowledge of construction and is progressively becoming more complex, demanding finely tuned spatial fluidity, practicality, conformity and seductive forms to be combined in the creation of designs than transcend time.
Having travelled different parts of the world analysing diverse architectural styles and design details, the architects at Zeno Entity are well-experienced and knowledgeable in how to translate these styles into the current trends and lifestyles.
At Zeno Entity, you will see more innovation in architecture than you have ever experienced before...
SYNERGY BETWEEN BUILT FORM AND ITS ENVIRONMENT
The environment has a colossal impact on our mental wellbeing. We have respect for the natural world and believe design should not interrupt nature – rather follow the curves, textures and colours to enhance beauty.
Building spaces are not confined at the point of entrance but exist as a continuous journey, experiencing the inter-relation of nature with the built form – the harmony which opens our mind to endless possibilities filled with positivity and optimism towards life.

"I have been a client of Sam and Toofan at Zeno Entity for many years and in this time it's no surprise to see them grow from a 2-person firm to one of the leading architects in Melbourne. Their designs, whether single or multi-dwelling development, are high quality and give that Wow Factor. They are a bunch of young, energetic, and highly talented architects who are easy and fun to work with. I'm always excited to see their creation as each design is unique, functional and of course, an architectural masterpiece."
"I have worked with Toofan and Sam on multiple residential projects over the years and have never been disappointed with the end result. They have always tailored their skills to suit my budget and requirements as well as bringing exceptional design concepts to choose from. Highly recommended."
