Lutyens Traveling Fellowship 2023 Winner Announced

William Clarke is an architect specializing in residential design in Atlanta. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, he attended the University of Notre Dame for architecture. After graduating, he moved to New York City where he worked for firms such as John B Murray Architects and Roman & Williams. It was his first job in NYC that ignited his love of Sir Edwin Lutyens, thanks to his very British boss, Tim Hook of Moran Hook Architecture. During the height of the pandemic William moved to Atlanta to work for McAlpine Tankersley Architecture, where he works today.

The Lutyens Traveling Fellowship was founded by the Lutyens Trust America to promote the appreciation and knowledge of the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens by funding a period of individual travel and research on his work and legacy. 

The Lutyens Traveling Fellowship provides a $7,000 award for emerging professionals in architecture, art history, interior design, historic preservation, or the decorative arts.

We would like to thank all the applicants that applied for this first annual fellowship. The level of interest was incredible and the quality of the submissions most impressive. The jurors had a difficult task to narrow down the applicants to three highly qualified finalists: Clay Gruber & Luis Jasso, Lucas Marti Guitera, and William Clarke.

Congratulations again to William Clarke. His winning proposal was titled: “In Service of Lutyens: A Study of Kitchens and Service Rooms.” We look forward to sharing the results of his travel and research.
