Asher Slaunwhite + Partners, LLC

Mark Asher, AIA, NCARB, a graduate of Virginia Tech University, founded Asher Associates Architects in 1993 with the designs of several Yacht Clubs in southern New Jersey. He had spent summers as a youngster sailing up and down the Jersey coast, developing a familiarity with and passion for the vernacular styles of the coastal towns. Before long, Mark had built a strong practice specializing in coastal residential architecture.

The firm continued to grow, gaining both clients and staff drawn to his work. In 2018, after nearly 10 years with the firm, Deborah Slaunwhite joined Mark as Partner. Her design aesthetic helped broaden the firm’s vocabulary to include more contemporary elements. With the addition of Laura Glantz as Partner in 2022, the firm now operates as Asher Slaunwhite + Partners (AS+P). Along with a strong management team, the Partners oversee a studio of talented architects and designers, a portfolio heirloom homes, and generations of clients who feel like family.
