Our Services
Classical Architecture for Modern Living
Build & Site Execution
We supervise the build stage by stage, paying close attention to stone laying, moldings and the finishes that define a classical facade.
Design Development & Planning
We turn your brief into a complete design, from the facade composition to plans, sections and interior elevations.
Project Management
We handle the schedule, suppliers and communication, including the longer lead times of natural stone, steel windows and custom ironwork.
Landscape & Exterior Design
We plan gardens that follow the lines of the house, with clipped hedges, cypress trees, stone paving and warm exterior lighting.

“Ashlar planned our house down to the stone joints. The facade looks exactly like the first drawings, and the rooms work for the way our family lives.”

FAQ
Questions we hear before a project starts
One design language from facade to interior
Stonework, joinery and ironwork coordinated by one team.
Schedules planned around material lead times
We design and build classic transitional homes. That covers architecture, interiors, landscape, planning and construction, up to the day we hand over the keys.
Yes. The team that draws the cornices and arches also supervises how they are built, so the details on site match the drawings.
It depends on size and scope. Most homes take 4 to 12 months from planning to completion, and natural stone or custom ironwork can lengthen the schedule.
Yes. We start from your routine and your site, then decide how much ornament the house needs. Some clients want a full French Country facade, while others prefer a few classical elements on a simpler volume.
We approve stone and finish samples with you before ordering, draw moldings and window surrounds at full scale, and supervise the site at every stage.
