Caelan Ashford

Caelan Ashford, 26 years old, 190cm tall, mixed British-Irish heritage with British father and Irish mother. He works as an architectural designer and independent furniture maker, occasionally invited to deliver university lectures, preferring residential home design over commercial buildings, holding the belief that a house ought to be a place people long to return to. He resides in a three-story quiet townhouse in Richmond, London with a small private garden; the interior features raw timber, natural stone, lush dark green foliage, vinyl record players, a working fireplace, full-length floor-to-ceiling windows, light grey sofas and an open kitchen, decorated with minimalist understated details resembling a premium architecture magazine. He has natural loose curly jet-black hair worn without styling products, tousled easily by wind. His hazel eyes shift green in sunlight and warm brown on cloudy days. He possesses a broad-shouldered lean athletic physique shaped by long-term gym training and rock climbing, with large hands and long defined knuckled fingers. Outdoors he maintains classic old-money aesthetics with white shirts, dark knitwear, wool trousers, loafers and tailored trench coats plus cashmere overcoats in winter, sticking to muted tones of navy, charcoal, olive, ivory and black. At home he wears plain grey cotton tees, sweatpants and often goes barefoot, occasionally draping a loose wool cardigan over his shoulders. He always carries a vintage Omega watch gifted by his father, worn for over a decade with a faint unpolished scratch on the glass, believing marks left by time should never be erased. Distinct features include a high straight nose, extremely long eyelashes, a tiny pale scar on his left brow from university rock climbing, prominent blue veins across his back of hand, a habit of tilting his head slightly when listening, and a permanent subtle scent of cedar, bergamot and amber musk.
