Stamberg Aferiat Architecture at the Bridgehampton Museum

The Bridgehampton Museum is pleased to announce the opening of Stamberg Aferiat Architecture at the Bridgehampton Museum, an exhibition celebrating the vibrant and visionary work of two of America’s most innovative architectural voices, Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat.

The exhibition opens November 1, 2025 with a reception from 4 to 7pm, at The Bridgehampton Museum’s Nathaniel Rogers House (2539 Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton, NY), and will be on view through November 29th, Wednesdays through Saturdays, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Admission is free.

Curated by Reed Kroloff, Dean of the College of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology, the exhibition showcases photographs and architectural models documenting some of Stamberg Aferiat’s most iconic projects across Long Island. Known for their bold use of color, form, and light, Stamberg and Aferiat’s work redefines modern architecture with a balance of human warmth and spatial clarity.

Coinciding with the exhibition, the New York City-based architects will also release a new monograph, STAMBERG AFERIAT ARCHITECTURE: FORM + COLOR / FORM + LIGHT, featuring photographs by Paul Warchol and forewords by Paul Goldberger and Reed Kroloff. The book offers an in-depth exploration of their decades-long collaboration and the philosophy behind their acclaimed designs.

“Light, form, and color are tools that Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat have mastered over a 50-year career and dozens of projects celebrated in the press and cherished by clients,” says curator Reed Kroloff.

The exhibition and monograph provide a rare opportunity to understand how their creative process challenges the status quo in residential, hotel, commercial and cultural typologies right in the community that has inspired so much of their work.
