Modern Clean and Rich - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

The old saying "A man s home is his castle" has never been more
true than today. It s no longer not just enough to provide shelter
for yourself and your family, we also want to create a space that
reflects our style in which we can live, work, and play. And that
also looks really impressive. Baton Rouge has a long and venerable
tradition in Southern vernacular architecture that has evolved over
the past 20 years to reflect some of the most exciting new trends
in the field. One of those leading the charge is Dwayne Carruth.
Dwayne is the owner of The Front Door Architecture which has
designed over 2000 homes in 14 states over the past two decades.
Dwayne recently relocated his firm s offices here in Baton Rouge to
a shared creative space he helped develop 1010 Nic. While Dwayne is
designing residential exteriors, William Evans does interior
design. William is the owner of Abat Jour Interiors and Design. The
company has a storefront on Government Street and South Foster
Drive, where they sell home accessories and especially William s
extraordinary custom lighting fixtures, lamps and shades. Rob
Chidester creates spaces and places people can only fantasize about
living in, because they only exist in the real world for a matter
of hours. Though they live on forever in the movies and TV shows
for which Rob designs and builds them. Rob is the owner of Royal
Cyclops Productions and two giant warehouses filled with props and
stage materials that you have to see to believe. All of Stephanie s
guests on this edition of Out to Lunch agree that Baton Rouge is
changing, they say "daily." Even if they re eaggerating by half and
it s only every other day one thing is for sure this is not your
grandfather s Baton Rouge. Photos at Mansurs on the Boulevard by
