The 2014 Venice/Santa Monica Modern Home Tour Comes in 10 Days
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 23, 2014 -- The third annual Venice/Santa Monica Modern Home Tour will take place on Saturday, May 3, 2014. Throughout the day, tourgoers will have the rare chance to see the inside of some amazing private homes in the Venice Beach and Santa Monica neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Attendees will learn from homeowners what it’s like to live in a modern home and find out where the architects got their inspiration - directly from the source. The tour is self-guided and self-driven, allowing guests to explore these modern treasures at their own pace.
The A + D Architecture and Design Museum> Los Angeles (https://aplusd.org) has been selected as the benefitting non-profit partner for the 2014 Venice Beach Modern Home Tour. They will help staff the event in exchange for a donation and opportunity to use the tour as a fundraising vehicle.
The homes on this year’s Venice/Santa Monica Modern Home Tour include:
• An amazing home designed by Deborah Richmond Architects that offers an office on the lower floor, and an upper apartment with views of Los Angeles’s Westside, including the Getty Museum, Santa Monica Mountains and Marina del Rey, all from the deck.
• A gorgeous addition and complete renovation, by Coscia Day Architecture, to an existing 1980′s box that now opens 3-sides of the living area via pivoting and multi-sliding doors and features a new 3rd floor to take advantage of the ocean views.
• A wonderful home, designed by Ortiz Mexia Projects, Inc., that was inspired by the family’s life adventures and personal desires, and then composed of materials and systems chosen for elegant simplicity, and endurance.
• An incredible home in Santa Monica, designed by Shubin + Donaldson Architects, that not only produces more electricity than it can consume (very green living!), but also instigates new forms of interaction and connectivity within the family thanks to one large room for living, eating, making and talking – and no TV!
• A gigantic Santa Monica residential compound, built in 1979, that features two complete residences: a 4-bedroom home with an open contemporary floor plan, and a 3-bedroom home with high ceilings and great views of the area. This home is currently on the market for $3.48 million.
Participating homes in the 2014 Venice/Santa Monica Modern Home Tour will open their doors for viewing from 11 a.m.– 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 3rd, throughout neighboring Venice Beach and Santa Monica in Los Angeles.
