AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) JANUARY 30, 2020
Some tour-goers search for inspiration for their next project; others hope to find an architect or home builder to work with; whatever the reasons may be, all tour-goers come to see a curated selection of Austin homes that embody the unique modern architecture and design aesthetic of central Texas.
Originally conceived by Krisstina Wise of Goodlife Luxury, and developed and produced by the Modern Architecture + Design Society (MA+DS), the annual Austin Modern Home Tour gives local architects, designers, home builders, and developers the unique opportunity to showcase their skill and talent to the community in which they work. In turn, the self-guided tour gives the community a rare chance to explore some of Austin’s amazing modern homes inside and out, while asking questions and engaging the minds behind the designs.
For the 12th annual event in 2020, the Mid-Century Modern Block Party returns. Presented and sponsored by Starlight Village, the party starts at 4PM on tour day and features several additional homes to explore, plus available food and drink. Participating sponsors in 2020 include Matt Fajkus Architecture with Miars Construction, and Thurman Homes.
Texas State University’s Interior Design Program returns as the tour’s non-profit beneficiary and volunteer partner. Students will help staff the event in exchange for a donation to the program and the opportunity to use the tour as a fundraising vehicle, while also contributing volunteer hours and making connections in their field.
Participants and neighborhoods featured on the 2020 Austin Modern Home Tour include:
