10th Annual Houston Modern Home Tour - Rescheduled for June 27th
The Modern Architecture + Design Society will celebrate 10 years of showcasing Houston's modern homes on Saturday, June 27, 2020. Tour the homes. Meet the architects. Get inspired!
HOUSTON, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It began in 2011. A decade later, the Houston Modern Home Tour continues to highlight a new selection of curated local homes that embody Eastern Texas's unique modern architecture and design aesthetic every year. Some tourgoers come in search of an architect or home builder to work with on their next project; others come with hopes to find a little inspiration. Whatever the motivations may be, all tourgoers are sure to get a first-hand look at Houston's finest modern homes year after year.
On Saturday, June 27th, the Modern Architecture + Design Society (MA+DS) returns for the 10th anniversary Houston Modern Home Tour, presented by BEC Engineers and Consultants and sponsored by RAM Windows. The 2020 event will give local architects, designers, and home builders the opportunity to showcase their work directly to the community in which they work. In turn, the self-guided tour gives the community an opportunity to engage the minds behind the designs and ask questions as they explore some of Houston's best modern homes inside and out.
"Houston is our second-longest-running tour and one of the main pillars of the entire Modern Home Tour series," says MA+DS founder and president, James Leasure. "We had to postpone the event to late June, but with the new policies we have put in place, we are excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary and confident we can provide a safe and enjoyable event for all who attend."
Participants in the 10th anniversary Houston Modern Home Tour include:
- A modern home elevated several feet because it is located in the flood plain of the Braeswood Place neighborhood, designed by studioMET
- A modern home designed by Scott Ballard in the Upper Kirby neighborhood that features a roof deck with jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen
- A second modern home from studioMET, engineering by BEC Engineers and Consultants, that just completed construction in the Montrose neighborhood and features a perfect outdoor living space for Houston summers
- A brand-new high-end modern home in River Oaks that sports a floating spiral staircase and European garden courtyard, designed by refuGe Design Studio and built by Fifty Seventh + 7th by Carnegie Homes
