WA Design -- Saratoga
WA Design -- Saratoga

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) March 19, 2014 -- The 2014 Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour will take place on Saturday, April 12th. The self-guided driving tour will feature five to seven architecturally progressive and contemporary homes that exemplify modern living in Silicon Valley. Tourgoers will get the opportunity to see the inside-and-out of these amazing private homes, and meet the architects and homeowners.

Ingrid Spencer, former managing editor for Architectural Record, has selected and curated these five homes for the 2014 Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour.

(1) An amazing home in Menlo Park, designed and owned by local architect Dan Spiegel, that re-appropriates the traditional forms of the California ranch house and farm tower as tools of environmental performance and social interaction.

(2) A wonderful display of modern architecture by WA Design, located in Saratoga at the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, that comprises a set of smaller ‘buildings’ interconnected by glassed-in walks and vaulted roof structures.

(3) A Palo Alto Eichler home, originally built in 1950 and part of the National Register listed Green Gables neighborhood, which was expanded and completely remodeled in 2012 by Design for Living.

(4) An early Mid-Century Modern house in Palo Alto that has bookend type additions front and back that completely transform the character of the house, while complimenting the original design – recently renovated and updated by M110 Architecture.

(5) A second M110 Architecture renovation on Palo Alto, this original Eichler home demonstrates how flexible the original post and beam construction method can be, as this house has been re-purposed throughout without adding any floor area.

Vision Literacy, a Santa Clara County-based nonprofit focused on providing comprehensive adult and family literacy education services, has been named as the 2014 Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour partner. Lever is a volunteer board member for the group and says the union of Modern Home Tours and Vision Literacy is a perfect partnership.

This year’s Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour will be held in conjunction with the Silicon Valley Contemporary. This is the second cooperative event in 2014 between premier home tour organizer, Modern Home Tours, and the Hamptons Expo Group, producers of the nation’s leading contemporary art fairs.

Participating stops on the 2014 Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour will be open for viewing from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm on Saturday, April 12th, in and around Silicon Valley. The final stop of the home tour will be the Silicon Valley Contemporary’s VIP Lounge for a catered “Meet & Greet” reception. Combination tickets to attend the 2014 Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour on Saturday and Silicon Valley Contemporary throughout its run are available at a discounted price.
