- Today is a very special webinar as we are featuring William Clarke, the winner of our first Lutyens Traveling Fellowship. Marcos Lutyens will introduce William in just a moment, but first I’d like to tell you something about our Fellowship Program.
The purpose of The Lutyens Trust America and the Lutyens Trust in the UK is to “protect and promote the spirit & substance of the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens.” And we are committed to finding new ways to do this. That was the impetus behind developing our webinar series and sponsoring our annual trips. So, when one of our Board members, Michael Imber approached us with the idea of sponsoring an annual Traveling Fellowship, he found a great deal of enthusiasm and support from our Board and our members.
We’ve just announced the 2024 Lutyens Traveling Fellowship. You can find details on our website. The $7,000 Fellowship funds a period of individual travel and research on the work and legacy of Sir Edwin Lutyens and is open to emerging professionals in architecture, art history, interior design, historic preservation, or the decorative arts. I
know from my own experience that I find something new and intriguing in every Lutyens’s site that I have visited. Our hope is to spark interest and research in the generation of design professionals just beginning their practice, so that their research can impact their entire career and also spread the word to others.
William Clarke is an architect in Chicago, IL. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, he studied architecture at the University of Notre Dame. After graduating, he moved to New York City where he worked for firms such as John B Murray Architects and Roman & Williams. For most of the past thirteen years, he has focussed on high end residential architecture.
It was his first job in NYC that ignited his appreciation for Sir Edwin Lutyens, thanks to his British boss, Tim Hook of Moran Hook Architecture. During the pandemic William moved to Atlanta to work for McAlpine Tankersley Architecture. He recently relocated to Chicago to be closer to friends and family, where he works for Kezlo Group and enjoys painting portraits.
Presented by Marcos Lutyens, Chair and Executive Director Robin Prater of Lutyens Trust America

Great talk! Beautiful kitchens so many years later!
Thank you for sharing your observations, William. It was a very insightful presentation!
That was fascinating, thank you so much. I’m always interested in learning more about the mechanics of these great county houses. That Lutyens was able to lavish so much attention on these functional spaces is also a testament to great clients willing to foot the bill, and the great craftsmen able to realize his designs. Hanks again, great presentation.
Terrific talk. I appreciate how William was able to interpret classic details into design ideas for modern living. I’ve never been a fan of open concept living. Give me multiple rooms for specific functions any day!

I watched this lecture live and it was very rewarding.
Separation of functions should be noted by practicing architects.
