A carefully flared base adds depth and dimension, allowing the cedar shingle siding to create a graceful and tailored transition to the brick veneer below. This small detail is where material, form, and craftsmanship come together.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT — For Project Manager Chris Tredway, architecture is about more than designing a beautiful home. It’s about discovering the people who will live in it and translating their vision into a space that feels uniquely their own.

A graduate of Temple University with a master’s degree in architecture, Chris first joined the firm as an intern and is now in his ninth year with the team. Over that time, he has contributed to a wide range of projects, from smaller-scale renovations to documenting a large-scale estate home in Haddonfield and now designing notable homes both inland and in Florida.

Combining outstanding design sensibilities with deep technical expertise and strong client relationships, Chris brings a versatile perspective to every project. Equally comfortable and skilled working in traditional and contemporary styles, he approaches each design with fresh ideas and an appreciation for the possibilities that make every home distinct.

For Chris, one of the most rewarding parts of the process is also the most unpredictable: the clients themselves. He enjoys learning how people want to live in their homes and discovering the personal details that will ultimately shape the design. Often, a project begins with a single must-have — a nostalgic feature, a particular lifestyle, or an admired architectural style. From that starting point, he builds a cohesive vision that brings the entire home together.

That thoughtful approach is reflected in several recently completed projects, including a traditional home in Longport (that has quickly become a favorite among both the town and the office), and a bayfront cottage in Stone Harbor, as well as upcoming homes in Hammonton and West Palm Beach.

Outside the office, Chris trades architectural plans for another kind of game plan. An enthusiastic sports fan, he loves big screens, bright lights, and the excitement of cheering on his favorite teams—whether at home or on the road.

He and his wife try to attend every Philadelphia Phillies home game, often bringing along friends to share in the fun. For him, no trip to Citizens Bank Park—or to ballparks in Baltimore, Pittsburgh, or even Yankee Stadium—is complete without a stop for Chickie’s & Pete’s Crab Fries.

And his loyalty to the Tennessee Titans dates back to childhood. He and his wife have traveled to Nashville four times to watch the team play. On one memorable trip, they brought their then-one-year-old son, sporting baby noise-protection earmuffs, to carry on the family tradition of cheering on the Titans.

Whether he’s translating a client’s must-have into a thoughtfully designed home or traveling to cheer on his favorite team, Chris appreciates the details that make an experience memorable.

There’s nothing quite like putting pen to paper. Sketching remains an essential part of the design process, where ideas take shape, creativity flows, and possibilities begin to unfold.

In the late 1990s, one of our first clients asked us to transform a modest cottage in Avalon into a home for their growing family. While adding indoor and outdoor living spaces, we introduced the charm of the island’s historic architecture.

More than 20 years later, the family returned, yet the house worked beautifully and was beloved. We proceeded to recreate it with two decades of perspective and experience.

The result? A familiar home with even more room to breathe, gather, and make memories.

The Art of the Eyebrow Dormer.

It begins with a sketch. A graceful curve takes shape on paper, revealing an architectural detail that is as beautiful inside as it is out.

From its distinctive exterior profile to the sculptural ceiling it creates within, the eyebrow dormer brings character and elegance to every perspective.

Explore the illustrated details and the beauty of this architectural feature in our book, "Making an Asher House," online here: https://loom.ly/zgRhs4Y

A new perspective.

Expanding our work to West Palm Beach, this residence reflects AS+P's thoughtful approach to architecture, where considered design and a strong connection to place come together. This home has details that pay homage to earlier architects who influenced the character of southern Florida with their interpretations of Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial Revival.

We work with clients wherever they live, gather, entertain, and relax. Whether you are building a year-round residence, renovating a home, or creating a warm-weather retreat, our team of talented architects and designers is ready to help you create something beautiful, personal, and lasting.
