The first book on the precisely detailed, sumptuous architecture of one of the finest firms working in traditional styles in California.
Evens has long been considered one of the country s leading contemporary architects who aspires to create the complete living environment, in the same vein as Gil Schafer, Bobby McAlpine, Ray Booth, and Stanley Dixon. His inspiration is drawn from classical traditions and informed by contemporary indoor-outdoor life in this case the indoor-outdoor life of California and is a crafted architecture that speaks to people. Evens explains the core design values that bring unique and compelling force to his work, crafting architecture that speaks to people. Evens s projects are stylistically diverse, from a Spanish Colonial Revival estate in Malibu overlooking the Pacic, to an American farmhouse-inspired residence in the golden hills of Southern California, to a gracious ranch house embedded within the old oak trees studding the coastal landscape of Montecito. Natural materials, such as wood, stone, and brick form the foundations, walls, and ceilings of these subtly luxurious spaces, while nature itself plays a considered role that is at once complementary and intricately conjoined with the work.
