Alexa V. Ashton
Founder, Architect
“Ilios” — the Greek word for sun — is a nod to both my heritage and the source of endless inspiration in my work. Sun light has always felt like more than illumination — it is the warmth, clarity, and quiet rhythm that shapes how we experience space.
At Ilios Architects, the sun is our constant collaborator. We design homes that embrace light — the way it shifts throughout the day, how it defines texture, and how it brings life into every corner. The name reflects a belief that thoughtful architecture begins with light: honest, elemental, and rooted in place.
With over a decade of experience in the architecture and construction industry, I approach every project with considerable care and intention. I have always enjoyed, and taken a keen interest in, the nuts and bolts of construction and how to craft details that make sense and feel right both visually and functionally.
My intent is to resolve whatever challenge you face in a unique yet simple way, and achieve your goals through thoughtful design.
