05142012 We want to thank architects Mimi Sadler and Camden Whitehead who graciously opened their home to Modern Richmond for May's event. Together with Chris Chase, they described the history of the house and the collaborative nature of the renovation process. It was a lovely spring evening in the woods by Forest Hill Park.
0572012 We are pleased to offer a special behind the scenes look of May's Exchange event. Architects Mimi Sadler and Camden Whitehead were kind enough to share a bit of the design process, including a sampling of sketches and construction plans. In a city like Richmond with its rich stock of vintage buildings, this renovation offers many lessons for how to strike a balance between contemporary design, sustainability and historic character. Don't miss it.

04302012 A very special thanks to the hosts for April's tour of the Meyers Residence, a classic mid-century modern residence on Wilton Road. A capacity crowd was treated to stories from Stanley Meyers who grew up in the house, Fred Cox who designed the home as a young architect in the office of Marcellus Wright, and the new owners, Hank and Natalie Greenberg.

Modern, architecture, swimming pool in Modern Home 0412012 If you haven't made it over to Eric Schindler Gallery for the Bio_DIVERSITY exhibit, don't miss your chance to see this unique gathering of art, architecture, and design inspired by nature. The show is curated by our own Chris Fultz of Fultz Architects, and continues through April 10th.
From Chris:
Comprehension of our relationship with nature, whether biological, elemental, or geographic, has been at the core of human expression since the first pictographs were carved millennia ago. Celebrating the diversity of Richmond’s creative culture, Bio_DIVERSITY is an assemblage of painting, sculpture, architecture, and furniture exploring the influence of nature in art and design.

The building was designed by debartolo architects and completed in 2003.

We ventured south to Durham, North Carolina last weekend. The city is one of the vertices of the Research Triangle and is home to Duke University and its fine collection of collegiate gothic architecture. The area also boasts a large contingent of modernist homes and several exciting recent urban projects, including a thoroughly modern transportation center designed by Durham’s own Philip Freelon. The Freelon Group are also the architects of record for the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., which officially broke ground last week. With all this in mind, MRT takes a closer look at this kindred former tobacco town to our south.
