5th Annual San Diego Modern Home Tour
SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) September 27, 2017 -- The Modern Architecture + Design Society is returning to southern California to host the 5th annual San Diego Modern Home Tour on Saturday, October 14, 2017. During the self-guided event, tour-goers will get the inside scoop from homeowners on what it’s like to live in a cutting-edge modern home, and learn directly from the on-site architects, builders and designers how they find inspiration for these fascinating residences. The event gives San Diegans a rare opportunity to see the inside of ‘that amazing house on the block…’
Most homes on this year’s tour are new builds or recent renovations, but tour organizers note there is something special in store: “The true architecture fanatics and mid-century lovers are in for a real treat this year: we just added a classic southern California beach home, designed by Sim Bruce Richards. The Del Mar home was designed and built around 1980 and is one of the last ones Richards completed before passing in 1983. It is a true masterpiece by an iconic American architect. It’s also currently for sale.”
The San Diego Modern Home Tour is a featured event in this year’s Archtoberfest celebration, presented by the San Diego Architectural Foundation. The SDAF has been named the tour’s local non-profit beneficiary for the fourth year in a row. Members of the SDAF, along with students from the Design Institute of San Diego and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) chapter at San Diego State University, will help staff the event.
Six homes have been confirmed for the 2017 San Diego Modern Home Tour. Participating architects and designers, and featured neighborhoods include:
- A penthouse unit in the downtown Mitra Lofts designed and built by Nakhshab Development and Design
- A Del Mar modern beach house designed by LC Fisher Architect
- A renovated 1940’s Mission Hills home, recently renovated into a SoCal modern oasis
- A second Nakhshab Development and Design unit, this one is the penthouse in the Hangar 5 building in Bankers Hill
