Devon Tilly / The Art of Construction
About this episode
"So I think that across the board what we'd like to see is a more common sense approach to what we're doing and really analyzing the downstream effects."

Join Devon Tilly as he chats with Travis Hendrix of KGA Studio Architects!

Travis Hendrix is an Associate Principal at KGA Studio Architects.  Through the combination of traditional, modern, and contemporary ideals he is continually looking to create something new, yet familiar, while always beautiful.  He prides himself on his design versatility, sharing KGA’s belief that “the best design is the one that serves the client.”  In addition to high-end luxury custom homes and renovations; his portfolio of work includes restaurant tenant finish, townhomes, multi-family, historic preservation, clubhouses, and even a boutique hotel.  Travis holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Colorado and is a licensed architect in California, Colorado, Texas, Minnesota, New Mexico, Idaho, and Florida. He serves on the board of the Metro Housing Coalition, is the chair of the HBA of Metro Denver Permitting Committee, member of the Government Affairs Committee, and serves on the board of the Custom Builder and Remodeler Council.
