Shaping The World As A Home / The Houses And Gardens Of Eric Evens
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.
Reviews
"...a stunning showcase of spaces and gardens that celebrate his traditional approach to California living. From a Spanish Colonial Revival estate in Malibu, to an American farmhouse-inspired residence in Southern California, to a gracious ranch house embedded within the old oak trees studding the coastal landscape of Montecito, the book exemplifies how Evens’ work has changed the architectural landscape of California." ~ CALIFORNIA HOME & DESIGN
