This episode features a fellow acclaimed Arizona architect, Brent Kendle. Brent grew up in Chicago and was inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright to become an architect and attend ASU’s Architecture Program. The Passive Solar program they were promoting to students was very pragmatic and eco-friendly, which appealed to Brent's preferred style of design and prompted him to move West. Mark met Brent back in the early 80’s while attending ASU’s Architecture school together, and they briefly reminisce on their college classes.

Fast forward, after 10 years as a partner at Cornoyer Hedrick in Arizona, Brent ventured on his own to found Kendle Design Collaborative, located in Scottsdale, in 2002. Today, they are an internationally acclaimed residential architectural firm specializing in regionally inspired modern design. KDC’s projects have been featured in luxury magazines, national brand advertisements, international design exhibits, books on modern and eco design, and design publications from more than 30 countries.
