A panel of residents from six of Goodman’s residential communities located throughout the DMV will each share their personal experiences and discuss what attracted them to a Goodman neighborhood. Gaining insights into several of Goodman’s communities, attendees will learn how each was shaped by its physical design, the differences and similarities between neighborhoods and buildings, and how the presentation and marketing of neighborhoods differed. Reception: 8:15 PM - 9:00 PM - Goodman communities will share displays, videos, and drone flights of their neighborhoods in the reception room. Theme: Community |

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, AIA 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 |
