The Southampton Arts Center (SAC) will once again hold its Architecture & Design Tour on Saturday, Sept. 14, starting at 11 a.m. Now in its seventh year, the theme of 2024’s event is “Vintage/Reimagined” to showcase historic homes that have been updated to meet the needs of modern lifestyles.

“The tour offers a rare opportunity to explore several select Southampton properties that exemplify the blend of vintage charm and contemporary innovation,” according to the tour description.

“We’re thrilled to bring together such a distinguished group of architects and designers to share their insights and work with our community,” says Christina Mossaides Strassfield, executive director of the Southampton Arts Center.

The day will begin with a private brunch at the Southampton Village center, followed by a panel discussion in the SAC theater, led by Brian Brady of Brady Design about the challenges and creative processes involved in modernizing historic homes while preserving their original character. Panelists will include architects Pamela Glazer, Alvise Orsini and Lee Skolnick, as well as designer Quinn Pofahl.

Home tours will be held from 1:30 to 4 p.m. in Southampton Village. Addresses will be provided upon arrival.
