Site Specific, Soul-Aware
Assembly is fundamentally about place. And not just any place: the layered terrain of Western North Carolina. Their design-build services reach about an hour from Asheville, with architectural work extending to California, Colorado, and beyond. “Everything starts with the site,” Ross says. “You can’t build a lasting home if it doesn’t sit right with the land. We talk a lot about life cycle. We want these homes to still be here in 200 years.” It’s a subtle rebellion against disposable culture - a home not as commodity, but legacy. “The U.S. builds homes to last 80 to 100 years, if that. But when you design for a long life, you’re forced to think differently - about systems, about siting, about future climate conditions.”
