“ Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness. ”
– Frank Gehry
After accepting a small exhibit design project, which the larger firms could not take on, Marthe Aston founded M Aston Design as a resource for quality concept-driven design services specific to smaller projects. The goal of M Aston Design is to tell the story of our client, within their sometimes challenging budget, through thoughtful, functional, and meaningful environments which exceed their expectations.
Our design process begins with active listening and communication, with follow through to the end and beyond. While giving our complete attention to each individual client, a narrative begins to unfold, which then guides the path of the design, from its overall plan to its details. And, since the most memorable spaces do not get designed in a vacuum, M Aston Design works collaboratively with and coordinates between the client, engineers, architect, builder and artisans, if needed, to ensure proper expertise for every detail. This requires excellent team and client communication – our forte.
M Aston Design provides a wide array of interior and exhibit design services for a variety of project types, although interactive museum, cultural center and children’s environments (both short- and long-term), dental offices, and tenant improvements are our specialty. We work with individual clients (many are repeats) or in partnership with architects and fabricators. No matter who we work with, we are passionate about developing conceptually unique, user-oriented and friendly spaces.
