The Chetcuti-Evans House

The Chetcuti-Evans house is a sprawling, modernist/automotive themed home in a converted industrial building. The open floor plan joins indoors and out over two floors and envelops an enclosed courtyard with a fountain. Typically there are several classic cars on the property with up to two vehicles in the living room.

Virtually every architectural detail in the home was designed and fabricated by Chetcuti and Evans. The home has won several design and community beautification awards; it has been photographed and featured in a number of home and design publications. In September of 2012 Chetcuti and Evans hosted a private fundraising event that featured President Bill Clinton. 

About One Royal Oak

ONE ROYAL OAK- the campaign supporting votes FOR Proposal A is working to support the city’s Human Rights Ordinance on November 5th. A vote FOR Prop A would protect all people- including gay and transgender folks-from discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodation. While employment laws exist to protect people on the basis of race, gender, and religion, no such protections exist for those who are singled out for their sexual orientation and gender identity.
