Legacy Awards 2024, honoring Erik Evens

Erik Evens is a lifelong resident of California, born and raised in Los Angeles, and educated at the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, where he earned his degree in architecture. His profound appreciation of traditional architecture was nurtured during extensive travels throughout the United States and Europe. In the early years, he worked for design firms with varying specialties, but as his career evolved, his attention became focused on creating architecture attuned to the classical principles of harmony, proportion, order, and above all, beauty.

 

Evens joined KAA Design in 1998 and became a partner in the firm in 2005, overseeing a broad range of custom residential, commercial and institutional projects. In 2013, he established Evens Architects, an independent design studio operating under the aegis of KAA Design and focused exclusively on traditional residential design. His work has been published in a wide array of publications, including Architectural Digest, Luxe, House Beautiful, Traditional Home and Milieu. The first book on his work, Shaping the World as a Home, published by Rizzoli, will be released this fall.

 

A teacher and mentor, Evens lectures widely on a variety of design-related topics. For the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA), he has taught the elements, rationale and philosophy of classical architecture to hundreds of students across the country. He is a Fellow of the ICAA, and sits on its national education committee. He is a founding member and former president of the Southern California Chapter of the ICAA.

We are delighted to honor Erik on our twentieth anniversary of the chapter!
