Homes aren’t built around your health. Ashara is building a new standard of living.

Human-Centered Environmental Architecture

A different kind of home starts with a different kind of developer.

Ashara Living builds luxury wellness homes along the coast of Orange County. We believe the places we spend our lives should actively support the people within them. Every home is designed as an environment for human health, longevity and a better quality of life, without compromising beauty, architecture or the experience of home.

This is wellness built into the home, not added to it.

Why Ashara

A beautiful home is expected.

What you cannot see is where Ashara begins.

We design, build, test, and verify the conditions behind the architecture.

How we build differently.

Select a layer to explore
The Cornerstone

Four principles form the foundation. Each is structural to the whole. Select a layer to explore.

01 · Health

Designed for human health

Every material, system and space is considered for its impact on the body and mind — cleaner air, cleaner water, natural light and healthy materials.

The person living inside the home is part of every decision.

02 · Harmony

In harmony with nature

Our homes work with the natural environment — light, air, water and place — to create balance, not fight against it.

Designed in relationship with light, air, water and place.

03 · Performance

Engineered for real life

Beauty and wellness are backed by measurable performance — from air and water quality to thermal stability and acoustic comfort.

Performance should be felt, not showcased.

04 · Longevity

Built to age beautifully

We design and build for generations — with enduring materials and architecture that outlasts trends.

Built to age well — in material, function and experience.

Residences

The standard, made real.

Each residence is different. The discipline behind it stays consistent.

Built for the life that happens inside.

Quiet mornings. Family dinners. Birthdays. Recovery. Ordinary days that become memories.

We build homes we would want our own families to live in.

Ashara

The Framework

Before a home can meet the standard, the standard has to shape the home.

Four stages govern the work, in sequence. Each one establishes what the next has to resolve. Every Ashara home passes through all four, in order.

Intention

Define what the home must do, before design decisions begin.

02

Human Foundation

Establish the environmental conditions the design has to account for.

Build Requirements

Translate those conditions into requirements the architecture, systems and materials must meet.

Future of Living

The six pillars of the Ashara System

Air Integrity — Respiratory · immune

How outdoor air enters, indoor air leaves, and air moves through the occupied rooms between them.

A house is a container of air, and the people inside it breathe that air thousands of times a day. Very little about how it behaves is decided by the occupant.

500 bedrooms were measured overnight. Only 32% held carbon dioxide below 1,000 ppm. Source: Measured-bedroom study · CO₂ overnight.

Systems: Ventilation, Filtration, Humidity Control, Pressure Balance, Low-Emission Finishes, CO₂ Management.

Water Purity — Skin · hydration · respiratory

How water enters the house, moves through its plumbing and fixtures, and is managed after use.

Water in a home is not only what is drunk. Showering and bathing put it against the largest organ of the body, and into the air being breathed.

56% of the chloroform in shower water leaves the water and enters the air you are standing in. Source: Xu & Weisel 2005 · chloroform water-to-air transfer.

Systems: Entry Filtration, Fixture Filtration, Plumbing Materials, Moisture Control, Drainage & Grading, Water Testing.

Biological Light — Endocrine · sleep

How architecture admits daylight, and how electric light takes over when daylight recedes.

Light is not decoration. It is the primary signal the body uses to set its internal clock, and most of it now arrives from fittings rather than the sky.

The receptor that tells the body what time it is is not one you see with. It peaks at 480 nanometers. Source: Melanopsin peak sensitivity · 480 nm.

Systems: Daylight Access, Glazing Performance, Glare Control, Evening Light Spectrum, Fixture Placement, Shading Control.

Acoustic Calm — Nervous system · stress response

How walls, floors, ceilings, openings and mechanical systems determine what sound reaches a room.

Noise does not need to wake a person to affect them. The body responds to sound during sleep whether or not anyone remembers hearing it.

California requires STC 50 between two apartments, and nothing at all between your bedroom and the room next to it. Source: California Building Code · Part 2, sound transmission.

Systems: Sound Isolation, Absorption, Reverberation, Vibration Control, Mechanical Noise, Exterior Noise.

Material Integrity — Immune · toxin exposure

What the building is made from, layer by layer, from visible finishes to the materials behind them.

Every surface in a house was selected once and then lived with for decades. Those selections continue to interact with the air long after construction ends.

The code sets 0.05 ppm for the plywood in your cabinet, and nothing for the sofa carried through the door. Source: CARB Phase 2 formaldehyde limit · composite wood only.

Systems: Low-Emission Materials, Natural Materials, Surface Durability, Breathability, Adhesives & Sealants, Finish Selection.

Thermal Stability — Cardiovascular · metabolic

How the envelope and building systems manage heat as conditions change inside and outside the house.

Comfort is usually treated as a thermostat setting. It is decided far earlier than that, by the enclosure itself.

Cold you never notice still alters cardiac response through the night. Source: Overnight cardiac response to mild cold exposure.

Systems: Insulation, Thermal Mass, Air Tightness, Envelope Continuity, Passive Design, Mechanical Balance.

The Ashara Standard

A name should
mean something.

The Ashara Standard is what a home has to meet before it carries ours. It governs how the house is designed, how it is specified, and what we will and will not put our name to.

01

Materials are scrutinized

Every Ashara home uses materials selected for emissions, durability and their effect on long-term indoor environmental quality.

Wood wall panels in soft daylight
02

Environmental systems perform

Every Ashara home integrates air, water, light and acoustic systems as coordinated parts of the architecture.

03

Temperature remains stable

Every Ashara home is designed around an envelope and mechanical strategy that limits unwanted temperature variation between spaces.

Blocks of wood, stone and glass side by side
04

Systems stay discreet

We do not allow environmental technology to dictate the visual experience of the architecture.

The World of Ashara

Two companies. One idea.

We are not treating people. We are designing the environment the body lives in.

Ashara Labs

What can be shown,
not just intended.

The research and verification arm behind the Ashara Standard. Targets are labeled as targets. Specifications as specifications. Models as models. Results only when they have been measured.

Healthy Materials Lab
Parsons School of Design

A design research lab whose work is the removal of harmful chemistry from building products, and the education of the people who specify them.

From the product to the building.

The Healthy Materials Lab has spent years asking what goes into building materials. Ashara is asking what happens when that question is carried through an entire home.

Adhesives. Sealants. Underlayments. Finishes. The parts of a building most people never see begin as material decisions.

The Healthy Materials Lab exists to make those decisions more legible — through research, education, a materials library and published collections focused on what products are actually made of.

Ashara Labs is working with the Lab to extend that scrutiny into a finished residential project. The precise form of that work is still being agreed.

What matters is the direction of travel: not a certification bought from an organization built to issue one, but a research body applying its expertise to the house itself.

The question does not stop at the product. It follows the product into the building.

What Ashara Labs will publish

Documentation, not brand language.

Testing

What was measured in the completed home, where it was measured, by whom, and under what conditions.

Verification

A clear record of what was a design target, what was specified, what was modeled, and what was confirmed in the finished building.

Materials

The materials and assemblies selected, the basis for their selection, and the information used to assess them.

Partnerships

The outside institutions, laboratories and specialists involved, and the scope of what each was engaged to do.

No placeholder proof.

There is deliberately little here today. The first Ashara homes are still moving through design and construction, and we will not present targets, specifications or models as completed results. Evidence appears here only after the underlying work has been done.

Ashara Labs

What can be shown,
not just intended.

The research and verification arm behind the Ashara Standard. Targets are labeled as targets. Specifications as specifications. Models as models. Results only when they have been measured.

Healthy Materials Lab
Parsons School of Design

A design research lab whose work is the removal of harmful chemistry from building products, and the education of the people who specify them.

From the product to the building.

The Healthy Materials Lab has spent years asking what goes into building materials. Ashara is asking what happens when that question is carried through an entire home.

Adhesives. Sealants. Underlayments. Finishes. The parts of a building most people never see begin as material decisions.

The Healthy Materials Lab exists to make those decisions more legible — through research, education, a materials library and published collections focused on what products are actually made of.

Ashara Labs is working with the Lab to extend that scrutiny into a finished residential project. The precise form of that work is still being agreed.

What matters is the direction of travel: not a certification bought from an organization built to issue one, but a research body applying its expertise to the house itself.

The question does not stop at the product. It follows the product into the building.

What Ashara Labs will publish

Documentation, not brand language.

Testing

What was measured in the completed home, where it was measured, by whom, and under what conditions.

Verification

A clear record of what was a design target, what was specified, what was modeled, and what was confirmed in the finished building.

Materials

The materials and assemblies selected, the basis for their selection, and the information used to assess them.

Research belongs in the work.

Ashara Labs works with institutions, laboratories, material researchers and technical specialists whose methods can withstand scrutiny. Where there is a relevant body of work, a credible method, and a reason to apply it to the built environment, we want to know about it.

A few lines on the method and why it applies to the built environment are enough to begin.

Build With Ashara

Built in from the beginning.

The earlier we are involved, the more completely the home can be considered as one system.

Where we enter the work

The starting point varies. The standard does not.

From the ground

You have the land and nothing is drawn. The six pillars shape the plan from the first line.

Drawings and samples on a table

While decisions are still open

Drawings or permits exist, or work has begun. We look first at what can still change, and say plainly what cannot.

Handshake on a construction site

A shared project

Ashara develops the site alongside you and shares in the outcome. The terms are a conversation, not a page.

Have something worth building?

A homesite. A vision for a private residence. A property with potential. An investment opportunity. If you believe it could become something exceptional, let’s talk.

We work with homeowners, landowners and investment partners to develop and build Ashara residences from the ground up.
