About this Event

Celebrate the Season in Style!

Embrace the holiday spirit at the striking Kimpson-Nixon House, a pure expression of early modernism designed by the visionary architect Raphael Soriano. Nestled on a flat lot overlooking the picturesque Colorado Lagoon, it makes a perfect backdrop for our festive gathering.

Learn more about the home's significance and insights on the extensive rehabilitation effort from owner/architect Alan Pullman of Studio One Eleven. Co-author of Long Beach Architecture: The Unexpected Metropolis, Cara Mullio, will join him to provide fascinating context for the house and its role in the rich architectural history of Long Beach.

What to Expect:

  • Enjoy delicious Greek appetizers (a nod to Soriano’s heritage) in the backyard, surrounded by the house's architectural beauty.
  • Take in stunning views from the roof deck as the house glows with holiday cheer.
  • Explore the compact, two-story design that features rectilinear volumes, continuous windows, and an emphasis on the Southern California indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Special Benefits for Docomomo Members: As a valued Docomomo member, you will receive early access to this event on November 1st and a special discount on tickets! Don’t miss your chance to celebrate the beauty of this modern house and connect with fellow design enthusiasts.

Dress Code: Festive attire with a modern twist!
