Hebrew translation:החיים הנם תוכנית אב
Explanation:
"Hachayim hinam tochnit av"

"Tochnit Av" is another common way to say Masterplan, which is less connected to town/house design.
"Hinam" is a higher register version of "hem".
Btw, "Av" = father.

neutral  Eynati: While I agree with your translation, this seems to be a commercial job rather than asking for help with a term.
