Austin AIA Homes Tour 2007 - Save the Date

Date Wednesday, August 29th, 2007 at 12:32 am Posts By Ryan Brown

The AIA Austin website now has full details on the 2007 Homes Tour, scheduled for October 6-7. Here is a quick rundown from their website:

The 22nd Annual AIA Austin Homes Tour will take place on October 6th and 7th, from 12 Noon - 6PM each day.

Presented by AIA Austin (the Austin Chapter of the American Institute of Architects), this year’s tour will feature an intriguing collection of 11 one-of-a-kind homes designed by professional members of AIA Austin for real clients representing a wide range of lifestyles.

The featured firms have truly demonstrated the abilities of an architect to translate the needs, the lifestyles, interests and the dreams of the client into a beautiful solution! Great new products, finishes, furnishings and design techniques will be highlighted.

The self-guided AIA Austin Homes Tour is one of the most popular fall weekend events in Central Texas, and AIA Austin’s most dynamic community outreach program.

The 11 homes look very impressive. I highly recommend the tour to anyone considering building a home in the future, and of course to those who enjoy seeing fine works of architecture and construction. Like the Cool Houses Tour, many of the architects & contractors will be on hand to answer questions about their work.

I took the AIA’s tour list and built a quick google map with photos and links.

    Awesome Map with the links/photo’s. Always a good tour, but this year looks especially good. My buddy at Pilgrim Building Company built the one on Post Oak in South Austin and that is an especially cool house. It’s a SIP’s house and their craftsman did an amazing job. I’m not sure if it got rated through the Austin Energy Green Building program, but I’d guess it would be 5 star worthy…

    Once the tour happens, it would be great if someone could post pics of the various homes for those of us who won’t be able to attend. Looks like a fantastic tour this year.

    Thanks Matt! I’m very excited for the lineup. I really like how the AIA tour gives you 2 days to soak everything in. Sometimes it takes a second visit to fully appreciate a home.

    SPF: I feel your pain. I always try to supplement my memory with photos when visiting homes. Unfortunately the architects/homeowners don’t always allow photography. On the bright side, the architects usually have fairly detailed photos of the AIA homes on their websites.
