Inside Modpalooza: 8 NC modernist homes, all designed by women, one tour

NCModernist is hosting its annual Modapalooza Architecture Tour on Saturday, Sept. 14.

Architects will be on hand to answer questions. But unlike previous excursions, they’ll all be women .

All eight homes on the tour are designed by women — for the first time in its history.

Starting in the Research Triangle Park at around 8 a.m., tourgoers paid $179 per ticket to ride around in a fleet of air-conditioned buses, peeking inside some of the region’s newest modern homes.

“Women have been historically underrepresented or not given due credit,” George Smart, founder and executive director of NCModernist/USModernist, said in the release. “This year, we finally got the critical mass of homes and designers to devote to an entire tour.”

Among the lineup: Arielle Condoret Schechter, AIA; Erin Sterling Lewis, AIA, Raleigh; Katherine Hogan, AIA, Raleigh; Sharon Xu, Chicago; Alicia Hylton-Daniel, Durham; Rebecca Necessary, Raleigh; and Jessie Braverman, AIA, Durham.
