"After studying architecture at Syracuse University, the Cincinnati native interned in New York City for designer Juan Pablo Molyneux. "That was an eye-opener," she recalls. "I'd never seen velvet on office walls." Lavonne then heeded the siren call of LA, where she honed her eye under celebrated talents like Madeline Stuart, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Michael S. Smith, and Frances Merrill."
"Having completed projects of every scale and type, the AD PRO Directory member set up her own practice some four years ago. She's now working on a Craftsman bungalow in Long Beach and a 1970s abode in Rancho Santa Fe, among other jobs. "I gravitate to color, craft, and form, not a trademark style," says Lavonne. "Every house should have its own unique expression.""
Ashley Lavonne studied architecture at Syracuse University and interned in New York City for designer Juan Pablo Molyneux, where she encountered unexpected luxury details. She moved to Los Angeles and refined her design eye working with Madeline Stuart, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Michael S. Smith, and Frances Merrill. After completing projects of many scales and types, she launched her own practice about four years ago. Current projects include a Craftsman bungalow in Long Beach and a 1970s house in Rancho Santa Fe. Her approach emphasizes color, craft, and form rather than a signature style, aiming for each house to have its own unique expression.
