Mr. Kern's family has been part of our community since the early 1970s. He founded Kerns Group Architects in 1972 and has designed about 60 additions to Hollin Hills homes. He will speak about the collaboration between Charles Goodman, a gifted architect, and Robert Davenport, a developer willing to take risks. His presentation will enhance your understanding of why these homes are so memorable.
