Home Architect: Ashville NY

Design that feels like home.

At Mōdish, we design new single-family homes with purpose, creating spaces that feel beautifully laid out, balanced, and built around the way you live. Serving the Ashville NY area, we work with homeowners who want thoughtful, luxurious design and a home that is visually connected to its environment.

Every project starts with listening. Perhaps you’re planning your forever home or exploring a multi-family development. We help bring your ideas into focus, then make them real, from floor plans and walls to large windows, patios, and roofs that complement your lifestyle and site.

Built Around Your Life

As a leading custom home architect, our work is grounded in smart design, technical expertise, and a clear process that helps homeowners move forward with confidence. We focus on new construction, including single-family homes and occasional multi-family projects, creating homes that feel inspired, functional, and connected to the world outside.

We pay attention to interior and exterior spaces, floors, walls, and windows, and ensure each home reflects the owner’s lifestyle, future plans, and the surrounding community. Every detail is carefully developed, including patios, roofs, construction materials, and interior finishes, so your home is both timeless and incredible.

What We Do Best

We shape homes around real life, guided by your needs, your style, and the character of the land you build on. With expertise in new construction and thoughtful renovations, our architects design homes that feel just right for Ashville NY living.

Luxury Residential Architectural Design

We design each home to reflect your lifestyle, budget, and vision, starting with the first sketch and moving through to detailed construction drawings. Every project is a new custom home, carefully planned for function, flow, and aesthetic impact. Our process is clear, collaborative, and focused on what matters most to you.

Adaptive Use + Multi-Family Projects

We occasionally take on multi-family developments, creating efficient, functional, and beautifully designed spaces. Each project is rooted in thoughtful planning, lasting materials, and luxury-focused design, so spaces feel modern, connected, and built to last.

Complete Project Coordination

We’re with you every step of the way, beginning with a careful study of your site, guiding you through permitting, and working closely with builders to bring your vision to life. Our team stays connected and responsive, focusing on quality, design integrity, and clear communication throughout construction.

What People Are Saying

Our clients describe our work as thoughtful, well-organized, and filled with small design touches that reflect their lives. For us, the biggest compliment is when a homeowner says their new space just feels right.

We had the pleasure of working with Chris on our Lindal custom home. His knowledge on every aspect of home building was invaluable and his patience with us asking so many questions and sending countless emails was incredible. He always advised us candidly about the pros and cons of every decision and advocated for us like it was his own home. Our project is on hold for now but when we resume, Chris will be our first call.

Pete VonDerLinn

We worked with Chris on designs for a custom home and he was fantastic at going over all the options of the entire process. He was always very quick to answer all questions and was very knowledgeable on every aspect. Highly recommend!

Nick Hazlett

Chris is very helpful and knowledgeable. I reached out to him after my parents lost their home to a fire to start discussing a rebuild. He was quick and thorough in responses to questions. In the end my parents decided to go a different route for their house, but I have no doubt that he would remain helpful and readily accessible throughout the build process too!

Francis Nasca

We were looking to build a vacation home and Chris was very helpful initiating the process. This is our first time building a new home and Chris was very thorough in explaining the process from start to finish. He looked at our lot, guided us through the process and put together a proposal.

KT KT

I’ve been using Chris for design services for over 20 years. He’s trustworthy, always delivered on what he promised, and is always willing to go above and beyond. I hire him for all the difficult projects I need done.

FAQs

Do you only work on new homes, or can you help with existing properties?

We specialize in new construction for single-family homes and occasional multi-family developments. While our focus is on creating new life for a property through thoughtful architecture, we don’t work on existing home renovations. Every project is designed from the ground up to reflect your desire for a home that balances lifestyle, function, and artful design.

Can you help us stick to a budget while still getting what we want?

Absolutely. Our team guides customers through civil engineering, layout planning, and material selection, so your bathroom, kitchen, and living spaces deliver function, beauty, and long-term value. We prioritize natural light, room flow, and interior-to-exterior connections without compromising your budget.

What types of projects do you take on?

We typically work on new single-family homes and occasional multi-family buildings across Western New York. Each home is designed to maximize natural light, large windows, and a layout that connects rooms to the outside world. Your home can feel like a museum or display of art and lifestyle, with spaces planned for kids, entertaining, and future growth.

How do we get started?

It begins with a conversation. We’ll walk your site in Ashville NY, Western New York, or anywhere else in NY, discuss your vision and lifestyle, and outline a custom architecture plan. From there, we guide you through civil engineering, design development, and construction planning to bring your dream home to life.

Where do you work?

We serve Ashville NY, and the surrounding Western New York area. Wherever your property is, we’re happy to create a home that’s beautifully laid out, functional, and connected to the environment, maintaining quality, style, and your long-term vision.
