About

Co-founded in 1998 by Rebecca Ascher and Joshua Davis, Ascher Davis Architects is dedicated to the art and business of architecture and interior design. Incorporating architectural details, lighting, and furnishings as an integral part of the overall design, ADA creates architecture that is both thoughtfully designed and cohesive in nature.

Over the years, the partners have built a team of loyal designers and project managers who are in sync with their style of working, thinking, and designing. The team at ADA manages large-scale projects on a regular basis, yet remains committed to offering the personal attention of a boutique firm.

Understanding that client service is at the core of what they do, the team at ADA is dedicated to working with clients in all phases of their projects. By carefully listening to each client’s needs and keenly focusing on the schematic phase of a project, ADA ensures that the plans for the space are unified and respect the individual tastes and desires of the client. In addition, ADA devotes a substantial amount of time to ensuring that construction runs smoothly, as the team believes that monitoring a job from start to finish is vital to success.
