Evens Architects

Watch lectures and courses taught by Erik Evens for the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA). Thoughts on the Geometry of Nature Join Erik Evens for a dazzling trip into the fractal geometry of nature. Be ready to discover the stunning beauty resulting from simple, iterative mathematical processes, as Erik guides us on a glimpse of the important parallels between this abstract mathematical realm and the processes generating beautiful form in the natural world. Are we hardwired to appreciate beauty? Was there a time when our art and architecture resonated with the geometry of nature? Can we recapture that resonance?

1/3 The pull of home can be an irresistible force, and for one Manhattan Beach couple, the lure of Agoura Hills, where they both grew up, was too great to ignore. Moving inland meant their three young children could live closer to grandparents and extended family, surrounded not only by love but by chaparral-covered hillsides-6 acres of them, in fact-for the ultimate play space. Tradition beckoned, too, as the couple sought a house rooted in historical styles, both insid...e and out. - November 2020, Luxe Interiors + Design Los Angeles.

2/3 "Our clients were interested in creating a comfortable family home that connected to the great tradition of American farmhouses," says architect Erik Evens (IG: @erikevens). "They also wanted the house to be the center of family life and to support outside living." - November 2020, Luxe Interiors + Design Los Angeles.

@evensarchitects ( https://www.instagram.com/evensarchitects/ ) The design for this California Ranch style estate centers on a "landscape-first" approach, engaging four distinct garden settings, with the three level home at the center of the property occupying the border condition between these zones. The hillside allows the terraced home to integrate with the land on each level, with the main level serving the family living spaces. The second floor master suite creates a '...bridge' over the living area and, with retractable glass walls on either side, the living space is a flexible, transparent connector of the upper and lower garden spaces. Materials were chosen to promote the the natural setting, and to reference the tradition and character of great California rural structures. The palette includes colored board-formed concrete walls, board and batten wood siding, standing-seam metal roofing, and indigenous trees and landscaping. #evensarchitects #evensarc #erikevens #architecture #design #art #interiordesign #photography #travel #architecturephotography #photooftheday #interior #building #instagood #city #ig #home #architect #love #homedecor #travelphotography #picoftheday #arquitectura #archilovers #architecturelovers

@evensarchitects ( https://www.instagram.com/evensarchitects/ ) A dramatic reinvention of an existing estate in Beverly Hills, the Roxbury Residence pays homage to the gracious villas of rural Italy. ... With the guidance of Evens Architects architecture and landscape studios, the original house has been comprehensively expanded and reconfigured to include all new kitchen, private family room, offices, bedroom suites, and an expansive new basement with theater and wine cellar. Especially important to our client's vision was a al fresco living and dining, and this is now accommodated in a spacious new loggia with fireplace. The residence is now surrounded with calming water features and a sequence of varied outdoor rooms. The new master plan incorporates numerous follies, punctuated by sculpture gardens and hidden surprises. Referencing traditional Japanese architecture, a Dojo has been provided as a practice venue for our client, a Jujutsu aficionado. Our clients desire for simplicity and their interest in accommodating an expanding modern art collection, naturally led us toward a more modern take on the interiors, under the guidance of designer Natasha Baradaran. The renovation of Roxbury Drive reflects a unique fusion of the classic and the modern. Our client's new home is an oasis of tranquil livability. #evensarchitects #evensarc #erikevens #architecture #design #art #interiordesign #photography #travel #architecturephotography #photooftheday #interior #building #instagood #city #ig #home #architect #love #homedecor #travelphotography #picoftheday #arquitectura #archilovers #architecturelovers
