ASHTON VILLAGE, WESTERVILLE, OHIO

Ashton Village is a multi-family development comprised of fourteen two-story breezeway apartment buildings located in Westerville Ohio. There were many challenges throughout the design development process. The largest hurdle was the request by the city to extend Hoff Rd through the development between Ashton Village and the neighboring single family development, which our office designed the master plan. This addition of a road through the site made for an interesting problem as the site became constricted. We were able to adapt to the request made by the city and design what is now a successful project. Architecturally, it was important for this suburban development to have a strong feature on State Street, which is the main thoroughfare, so it was an obvious location for the Club House. The club house is an acute “L” shaped building with a corner tower and ornate brickwork. It’s more public amenities, such as the exercise room, are situated on the front allowing a connection to passers by. The “L” shape of the building also allows for a swimming pool to fill the void and create a inviting private space screened from normal traffic. Throughout the planning and design process it was our goal to create an elegant place to live and a successful project for our client.
