Something beautiful is taking shape.
Our new website is currently under construction.
In the meantime, we're still designing thoughtful coastal homes throughout South Eastern Connecticut + beyond.
“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.
— Alexa V. Ashton, architect

Analyze
Every successful project begins with understanding the site. Whether you're considering purchasing a property, renovating an existing home, or exploring what's possible, a thorough site analysis helps uncover opportunities, identify constraints, and build confidence before moving forward.
-
Design
Thoughtful design is at the heart of everything we do. We create spaces that are beautiful, functional, and deeply connected to the way you live; making intentional decisions that improve both your daily experience and the efficiency of the building process.
-
Build
Turning ideas into reality is where everything comes together. We collaborate closely with builders, consultants, and craftsmen to assemble the right team, navigate construction with confidence, and ensure the design is executed with care.
-
Capture
Every project has a story worth preserving. Through professional photography and videography, we document the process from first sketch to final walkthrough—creating a lasting record of your project while beautifully showcasing the finished result.
