Thursday: Mid-Century Modernism Meets Mid-Week Martinis

Give me a well-designed floor plan and a cold drink, and I’m a very happy 40-something. 🍸🏠 NCModernist is back with another installment of Thirst4Architecture on Thursday, April 16, 2026. This month’s happy hour takes us inside the workshop of Mumford Restoration, where the crowd is as sharp as the rooflines. It’s the ultimate Raleigh mixer for anyone who geeked out over the flight terminal at RDU or just appreciates a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

Expect two hours of high-design chatter and local networking with fellow fans of the Triangle’s modernist movement. While the event is totally free, the NCModernist crew needs a headcount to keep things running smoothly. Make sure to register ahead of time using the code “MUMFORD” to secure your spot in the room.

📍 8601 Ebenezer Church Road, Raleigh, NC 27617
📅 Thursday, April 16, 2026 | 6–8 p.m.
💰 Free (Registration required with code: MUMFORD)

It’s the perfect excuse to talk shop and admire some craftsmanship. Just remember: keep your drinks off the vintage teak!
