Mark Ashby Design worked closely with Architect Mell Lawrence to develop this distinctive home’s unique style. Winner of the American institute of Architects 2008 Merit Award, this home known as “Watersmark 35” features extensive and beautifully integrated outdoor spaces that made this both an interior and exterior decorating project for Mark and his team.

In this home a walk-in shower was added as well as a corner soaking tub for hydrotherapy. The wall tile is a large, wavy grey tone and the cabinetry grey shaker style. The hall bathroom was also upgraded with new vanity and top, LVP flooring and modern, non-institutional style grab bars. There were additional handrails added throughout the home so that the stairs could be used while holding on to two rails at one time. The front of the home received a paver walkway with dual handrails as well.

Awarded 2023 Honorable Mention Award by the American Institute of Architects Central MA Chapter Passion project of our Dendochronologist client and his family, this addition shelters a set of spaces meant to feel both indoors and outdoors. Conditioned only by sun, wind, and the woodstove, the room functions as a multi-purpose glazed porch. ​Surrounding the 1950 house of a style so common in the New England Landscape, our client has worked for a decade to “re-wild” the suburban yard with plantings gathered on fieldtrips around the region. Turning its back to the house, this addition treads lightly into this rich and textured landscape. As the largest room in the house, it will host Thanksgiving dinner as well as it shelters quiet reading by the fire and cocktail parties in the gallery space and cookouts on the back porch. Aligned to extend our addition as close to the property line as bylaws permit, a diagonal wall also expresses the inside-outside connection’s incremental expansion to the North. Structure, shelter, enclosure, and fenestration act and and react to each other to modulate inhabitants’ relative senses of prospect and refuge. The Donna Dodson sculpture Redwing Rose was commissioned for the space.

A zero-height threshold shower entry, shower seat that folds up, a number of well-placed grab bars that aren’t institutional looking, and gorgeous tile all make this shower a beautiful transitional answer to Aging-in-Place with style! Photo credit: Dennis Jourdan

Located above the coast of Malibu, this two-story concrete and glass home is organized into a series of bands that hug the hillside and a central circulation spine. Living spaces are compressed between the retaining walls that hold back the earth and a series of glass facades facing the ocean and Santa Monica Bay. The name of the project stems from the physical and psychological protection provided by wearing reflective sunglasses. On the house the “glasses” allow for panoramic views of the ocean while also reflecting the landscape back onto the exterior face of the building.

Beautiful historic Princeton home next door to the Institute for advanced study. We were able to salvage stone found on the property for the patio. The historic stone wall was repaired and used in the design to shape the garden and pond. An extensive perennial garden was installed with interest throughout the seasons.
