Where: Goodman-designed Sevareid House What: Goodman Celebration at the Sevareid House with an evening reception to celebrate Goodman's work, network, reflect, and discuss. This separate ticketed event is limited to 100 guests and will feature a home tour and chat with homeowner Janet Lewis and restoration architect Michael Cook. Heavy hors d'oeuvres and refreshing cocktails will be served. Who: Hosts Janet Lewis and Michael Cook Why: Originally built for economist Emile Despres and artist Joanna Despres, this 1941 Goodman custom-designed hillside house located in Alexandria, VA, was enlarged with a Goodman design after it was purchased by Eric Sevareid and his family. The final design appeared in a 1948 issue of House and Garden which detailed its flexible living spaces, practical materials, and connection to the outdoors. Decades after its appearance in the magazine, the home stood in a state of disrepair. Cook Architecture renovated approximately eighty percent of the structure over a period of three years. The renovation sought a balance between the inherent qualities of a Goodman home and modern improvements that would complement the architect's original intent. Theme: Community |
