This year’s Bike Haus Summer Solstice Tour heads to Park Estates, where curving streets, generous landscaped setbacks, and architect-designed residences shaped one of Southern California’s most distinctive postwar neighborhoods.
More than simply a neighborhood ride, Bike Haus offers a rare opportunity to step inside select private residences and experience firsthand the stewardship, thoughtful modernization, and lived stories behind Long Beach Modernism.
Join architects, design professionals, students, and architecture enthusiasts for a curated three-hour cycling experience exploring the architecture, planning, and stories behind Park Estates : including homes associated with Richard Neutra, Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, Paul Tay, Kenneth Wing, Hugh Gibbs, and other influential voices of California Modernism.
Along the way, guided discussion will explore:
- Mid-Century Modern design principles and material strategies
- Historic preservation and residential adaptation
- California Modernism and indoor-outdoor living
- Neighborhood planning and postwar suburban development
- Sustainability and long-term stewardship of historic homes
Hosted by Vic Nguyen, Maureen Neeley, and Nate Cole, with special participation from Park Estates homeowners and stewards.
Bring your bike, curiosity, and appreciation for great design, and join us for an unforgettable Summer Solstice ride through Long Beach history.
The tour concludes at a private residence in Park Estates – join us for food and libations… all included with your ticket!
AIA members will earn 3.0 LU.
