Ashley Jones
Diploma of Interior Design
Ashley Jones, a recent graduate of TAFE Enmore Design Center, sees interior design as more than arranging spaces—it’s about solving problems, helping people, and making the world a little more beautiful.
With a passion for crafting experiences, Ashley believes every space should genuinely reflect its occupants, adding soulful touches and details that bring warmth and meaning to a room. During her studies, Ashley honed both traditional and digital skills, from hand drafting to utilising software such as Revit, Photoshop, and InDesign, learning to blend creativity with functionality. Inspired by each client’s unique personality, Ashley approaches every project with a commitment to authenticity, aiming to create spaces that feel personal, lived-in, and meaningful.
The Brief
The design for a boutique hotel at 23-33 Mary Street, Surry Hills, aims to offer an upscale experience for affluent travellers. The project includes transforming the ground floor and Levels 5 & 6 into a vibrant lobby, retail space, and public area, with 12 guest rooms in four styles, including one accessible room. The goal is to blend the building’s industrial charm with modern elegance, creating a comfortable, functional space while establishing a strong brand identity that reflects the hotel’s unique character.
The Concept
MCM House
The Brief
tasked with renovating this mid-century modern home in New South Wales for the beloved children’s book author Mem Fox. the goal is to create her forever home, reflecting her unique personality while keeping the mid-century modern charm. while also including a self-contained space for a live-in carer and installing a lift to make aging in place easier and more comfortable.
I wanted this forever home to truly reflect Mem, so I came up with the concept of “All Things Mem.” I brainstormed words for each letter of her name that perfectly describe her, both as an author and as a person, and used these words as the foundation of my design. My goal is for the space to embody her essence and let her creativity shine through.
Wooloomooloo Warehouse
The Brief
tasked with converting the empty warehouse at 250 Dowling St, Woolloomooloo, Sydney, into a warm and inviting home for an internationally respected fashion agent. The client, who enjoys yoga, self-care, and socializing with friends, wants a dedicated work/consultation space with a change room and sample displays. Our goal is to transform this cold, empty warehouse into a cozy and welcoming haven.
The Concept
To create the perfect sanctuary for the client, I explored various yoga positions, considering their visual appeal and the emotions they evoke. I then matched these positions to different spaces within the home, using their essence to inspire the design
The Brief
tasked with redesigning the historic warehouse at 82-84 George St, Redfern. Built in 1870, it’s undergone numerous renovations and most recently housed an interior design furniture showroom and office, complete with an espresso bar. Our client, an interior design company, is seeking fresh and innovative ideas to revamp the entry and lobby areas, as well as devise a new circulation system to seamlessly link the upper and lower levels.
The Concept
As this is a heritage listed building, I wanted to play into the deep history of the building, incorporating aspects from all the past uses of the space into the design. Intertwining the old with the new to create a space that speaks to the soul while also telling a story
