Join Hamptons 20th Century Modern in partnership with Hampton Cottages and Gardens magazine on Sunday August 11 for a tour of influential modernist properties in the Hamptons.
The day will start in East Hampton where participants will pick up tickets for a self-drive tour. From there, a wristband and booklet will be issued with the address and descriptions of the five singular homes in the Hamptons, all designed in the modern style. The tour is self-guided and, each participant will independently drive to and explore each house. The Eventbrite page has a detailed agenda.
Separate VIP tickets are available that include exclusive access to an evening in Montauk on Saturday August 10 for a tour and intimate discussion at the George Nelson House, designed by the legendary modernist George Nelson and his partner Gordon Chadwick, and restored by renowned architect Lauren Rottet. The hexagonal home will be a fitting backdrop for a conversation between Lauren Rottet and George Smart, founder and CEO of USModernist, focusing on Long Island’s Modernist movement and its conservation. Visit the website for more details.
Hamptons 20th Century Modern is a nonprofit and charitable organization that supports local and state preservation organizations and Hamptons neighborhood groups in their efforts to preserve modernist architecture throughout the Hamptons.
The home tour mission is to celebrate and foster an appreciation of midcentury architecture and design, as well as contemporary thinking in these fields, by encouraging education, preservation, and sustainable modern living as represented in the greater Hamptons area.
