A charismatic character’s colorful ascent to high-end design Portrait by Carl Agsten, Jr.
MARK STOCKER stands among the region’s top designers, even when he’s sitting down. With two decades of design expertise under his belt, he offers a playful and inspired approach to interiors. “Our design mission is to incite joy and excitement in our clients by delivering functional and beautiful interior solutions that fulfill specific desires and requirements,” Stocker says. “Every step of the journey should fun, relaxed and enjoyable for our clients.” Stocker’s peers name him among Southern California’s most distinguished design professionals. His San Diego-based firm, Mark Stocker Design, Inc., has a robust portfolio of completed and concurrent projects that span the country, running the gamut from major residential renovations and new construction to large-scale collaborative ventures. “Each project meets the higheststandards for top-quality finishes, finest custom-built furniture and one-of-a-kind decorative pieces,” Stocker says. “Our designs also incorporate the latest innovations and trends in interiors technology.” The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) has recognized Stocker’s striking design solutions, awarding his firm First Place for its recent kitchen remodel in Lake Hodges and Second Place for a large-scale design makeover in Olivenhein (see following pages). “When a space is functional, livable and youthfully refined, that’s successful design,” Stocker says.

Lake Hodges
ASID Award: 1st Place, Large Kitchen - 2020 Integrated into a large, open floor plan, this modern kitchen was designed to satisfy the requirements for entertaining large groups of people. While managing to feel intimate in its everyday disposition, it simultaneously exudes sophisticated appeal. A massive slab of polished wood serves as a dining table with seating for up to ten quests. Pneumatic lift stools provide plentiful casual countertop seating. A pass-through window into the exterior living space offers added utility and functionality. The carefully curated palette of woods, natural stone, concrete flooring and metal finishes adorn the space with a visual richness intended to anchor the immense volume of the open floor plan. Photos by Carl Agsten, Jr.
The cabinets are clad in a walnut veneer with a black granite countertop on the perimeter; the island is a natural stone slab selected by the client. Porcelain tile, which replicates concrete, is easier to maintain than concrete tile. The blue color scheme is carried from indoors to out.
“The goal was to interconnect the kitchen with exterior. Mission accomplished as we joined the two entities, bringing the inside out, and vice versa.”

Olivenhain
ASID Award: 2nd Place, Residential Space Over 3,500 sq. ft. - 2020 This major remodel transformed an uninspired home into a showcase of the ultra-modern. An emphasis on negative space drove Stocker’s design intent to exaggerate the volume of the interior and push modernistic expression to its apex. The interior architecture’s minimalist palette juxtaposes and contrasts the vibrant visual accents adorning the residence. Custom furnishings, luxe finishes and a curated collection of modern art infuse punches of pattern, color and texture for maximum visual impact. “The client’s favorite color, red, was an integral element used to drive design decisions,” Stocker says. “Accents contained within the spectrum of the hue are appointed throughout, unifying every space within the residence. Modern. Bold. Red.” Photos by Brady Architectural Photography
“The goal here was to design a super-modern kitchen and incorporate red. We did so with a high-gloss laminate island and neutral backdrop. The wood veneer used on the nook table balances the laminates, adding movement and warmth.”
