Mod & Merry: An Evening of Holiday Cheer at the Kimpson-Nixon House

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.
