WHITMAN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

renderings

Design has been able to stay ahead of the curve. Some architects are known for just one style. But Marc Whitman’s designs are, as he puts it, eclectic. “I design in most all styles: Modern, Spanish, Craftsman, Mission Revival,” he said. Yet somehow in this variety of styles, there is something distinctive, something undeniably, well, Whitman, about each of his designs. You see it in Limón Y Sal (formerly The Watermark) in Downtown Ventura, in Ojai’s Blue Iguana and Emerald Iguana Inns, and in the countless private residences he’s designed over more than three decades. “A great piece of architecture derives its beauty from a sense of balance and harmony with the blending of materials, massing, rhythm, light, and color.”
