The 2nd NC Modernist House Tour of the year! This is a chance to visit eight private homes and a farm, both new and mid-century Modernist structures, in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Ticketholders will meet in Research Triangle Park, board a luxury tour bus to visit these eight homes and a farm, and enjoy a chance to meet many of the architects who built or renovated them. Tickets include coffee and bagels, lunch, a USModernist tote bag with snacks, bottled water, free wifi and the comfort of a restroom-equipped, air-conditioned bus.
NCModernist's Fall Modapalooza House Tour is a curated, day-long bus excursion that opens the doors to nine private modern homes and properties across Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Participants meet in Research Triangle Park to board an air-conditioned coach, traveling together to view both historic mid-century gems and new architectural builds, with opportunities to meet the designers along the way. To make the most of this eight-hour tour, plan to leave the toddlers at home. This event is best suited for adults, design-loving teens, and older children who can handle a full day of structured travel and walking through private residences. Your ticket covers all transportation, parking at the departure site, morning coffee with bagels, lunch, and a snack bag, so you do not need to pack extra meals. Wear comfortable slip-on shoes, as you will be entering and exiting multiple homes throughout the day. It is a wonderful weekend pick because it handles all the logistics for you. Instead of navigating weekend traffic and searching for street parking at multiple destinations, you can sit back, enjoy the air conditioning, and get a rare look inside some of the most beautiful private spaces in the Triangle.
