One of the most defining examples of the Sarasota School of Architecture opens its doors for a specialized tour and social gathering. Designed by Paul Rudolph in 1953, the Umbrella House is famous for its striking wooden sunshade that originally spanned both the house and the pool. This tour allows guests to step inside the meticulously restored interior to observe Rudolph’s innovative use of open floor plans, passive cooling, and minimalist aesthetics. Following the walkthrough, attendees gather for a reception on the property, providing an opportunity to discuss midcentury preservation and architectural history with fellow design enthusiasts in an iconic setting.
