Rusafova Markulis Architects is an Asheville, NC based design studio specializing in modern residential, commercial, interior design and multi-family residential design. The practice was established in 2017 by Maria Rusafova and Jakub Markulis – a husband and wife team – who strive to do the highest quality work by focusing on selected creative projects of all scales and budgets.

In our design work we seek honesty and simplicity in design, clean lines and well executed ideas that function well and age beautifully. We bring straightforward approach to the design process by trying to reveal what is essential for each project. We also thoughtfully try to incorporate sustainable technologies like green roofs, natural ventilation, solar power, water collection, use of recycled materials, and passive solar design to produce buildings that are not only beautiful but responsible.

The office design aesthetic is modern, site sensitive and environmentally conscious. We work closely with our clients to guide them through all phases of the design and construction process. With each project we strive to achieve innovative and unique solutions that give a positive sense of accomplishment to the entire project team of Owner, Architect and Consultants, and General Contractor and result in livable buildings that inspire and delight.
