Our Progress + Preservation event spotlights the urgent need to practice mid-century modern design preservation while also honoring the independent spirits that create contemporary design in Phoenix. This weekend event will juxtapose local attitudes and approaches toward both Midcentury Modern and Contemporary architecture and design. We'll take the dialogue between past and present to the next level by bringing together a dynamic mix of creative personalities in a variety of stimulating venues. Please join us for this one-of-a-kind event.
Ralph Haver, Ben Allison and Allen Kalchik have all played a part in designing and re-designing this midcentury modern home in Marlen Grove. Demonstrating the adaptability of midcentury modern design, Haver Homes are sought for their flexible spaces, urban locations -- and now historical significance.
