Real Estate News & Notes: Christie Brinkley, Parrish Architectural Sessions, Top Sales Producers
Music mogul David Geffen has reportedly bought Cody House, Courtney Sale Ross’s East Hampton estate. Listed last year for $75 million, the property’s price was reduced to $67.5 million. The estate includes multiple residences on 5 acres with Georgica Pond frontage.
The Parrish Art Museum is presenting the third installment of Architectural Sessions—an ongoing series co-presented with AIA Peconic and moderated by architect Maziar Behrooz AIA—this Saturday, April 12, at noon. Called “Five Minutes Max,” the series’ new format features 12 East End architects who will give five-minute presentations of 15 images for exactly 20 seconds each. The Parrish based the format of Five Minutes Max on the popular PechaKucha Night Hamptons—rapid-fire presentations from creative professionals working on the East End.
According to Behrooz, the goal of the program is to create “a tapestry of presentations about architecture on the East End in a way that distinguishes local architects as experts on the subject.”
At the event, each architect will discuss a topic or theme specific to projects they have designed in the region. The featured architects include:
Hideaki Ariizumi AIA and Glynis Berry AIA– Founders, Studio A/B Architecture
John Berg AIA – Berg Design Architects
Bill Chaleff AIA – Partner, Chaleff & Rogers Architects
Jonathan Foster AIA – Principal, nyArchitect
Maxine Nachtigal Liao AIA – Principal, Maxine Nachtigal Liao
