9th Annual Houston Modern Home Tour
HOUSTON (PRWEB) August 29, 2019 -- Some tour-goers search for an architect or home builder to work with on their next project, others hope to find a little inspiration; whatever the reasons may be, all tour-goers come to see a curated selection of Houston homes that embody Eastern Texas’s unique modern architecture and design aesthetic.
On Saturday, September 21st, the Modern Architecture+ Design Society (MA+DS) returns to Houston for the 2019 Modern Home Tour, presented by BEC Engineers and Consultants. The annual event gives local architects, designers, and home builders the opportunity to showcase their work 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 modern homes inside and out.
“The Houston Modern Home Tour is one of our longest-running tours and a solid cornerstone of our entire Modern Home Tour series,” says MA+DS founder and president, James Leasure. “The Modern Home Tour started in Austin and quickly branched out to Houston. Our 9th year line-up is looking stronger than ever. It is a true testament to Houston’s amazing, inspiring, and increasingly diverse in design modern architecture movement.”
Eight (8) homes have been confirmed for the 2019 Houston Modern Home Tour. Participating architects and designers, and featured neighborhoods include:
- A just-finished modern home - a Harvey re-build - in Bellaire, designed by Origin Architects with support from BEC Engineers and Consultants
