Burch ex-hubby to upgrade home

The family that divorces together, upgrades together. Following in the footsteps of his ex-wife, famed clothing designer Tory Burch, with whom he separated in 2006, venture capitalist Chris Burch is looking to upgrade his Southampton digs. The details of the planned refurbishing are still sketchy, but Southampton architecture expert Sally Spanburgh has already panned the project, according to Cityfile. “The existing house is not so special and so there is an opportunity here to improve upon that, but I guess, like his ex-wife, Mr. Burch doesn’t have the greatest design sensibility when it comes to architecture,” Spanburgh said. Meanwhile, Tory Burch is looking to trade in her Southampton oceanfront contemporary home, now on the market for $17.9 million.
