Known for grand Spanish Colonial Revival estates in Southern California, Kevin A. Clark has a knack for tapping into the roots of classic architectural styles—creating homes faithful to their design premises, but also light-filled and utterly comfortable for today’s 21st century residents. “I had no intentions of working in architecture because I was throwing pottery for a living, and also playing drums—and that wasn’t going to work out,” says Clark, who began his career as a draftsman before segueing into design, ultimately creating notable residences like Santa Monica’s “El Sueno” and the recent "Hanalei House" on Kauai's North Shore.
Kevin joins the podcast to discuss the come-to-life precision of his hand-drawn ink and pencil renderings, designing a home for design aficionado Lindsey Buckingham, and the evergreen allure of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture.
“I grew up in Venice, California, and riding my bike through Venice and Santa Monica I just had an affinity for it, and the romance of it,” says Clark of Spanish Colonial Revival style homes. “It is, in a lot of ways, our architecture. California’s architecture.”
