At the age of seven, Andrew Ashey's interest in design was ignited by contrasting architectural styles in the Upper Valley. A field trip to Boston solidified his passion, particularly inspired by the Exeter Library. In 2014, he co-founded AAmp Studio with Anne-Marie Armstrong to focus on diverse design projects. Their work emphasizes collaboration with clients to create tailored solutions. Ashey highlights the importance of documenting past designs and the built environment, stressing that if he ceased architectural practice, he would continue to visually capture spatial peculiarities.
"I was especially drawn to the contrast between the old New England farmhouses in the hills, the Victorian homes in town, and the Modernist buildings on campus."
"The Exeter Library by Louis Kahn made a lasting impression. He continues to be surprised by how it manages to convey permanence and poetry at the same time."
"Much of what is envisioned is never built, and without some type of record these ideas risk being lost."
"If I ever stopped practicing architecture I'd still want to document the world around me - telling stories through images and words about the spatial peculiarities that catch my eye."
