Claymates
Ross Smith and Anna Welton know a thing or two about design. The couple built their Asheville, North Carolina house, affectionately dubbing it “The Westwood Wedge,” which has been featured in home and design magazines for its eclectic style and environmentally conscious build.
When our friends said “yes” to a photo shoot in their space, we couldn’t have been happier. Ross and Anna’s warm, modern aesthetic was a perfect fit for our 2024 spring/summer home collection, and we caught some great light in their kitchen!
Ross is the founder and owner of Assembly Architecture + Build, an innovative group of designers, architects, and builders based in our hometown. Combining architectural expertise with the home building experience allows Assembly A+B to streamline the process of creating custom-built, eco-friendly homes and collaborate closely with clients.
Anna is the Associate Dean for Community and Global Engagement at Warren Wilson College, and her travels in Latin America and Japan inform both her work and her design instincts.
We sat down with Ross and Anna to chat about how they manage balancing different design preferences and worked to create a bright, airy living space.
