What is the Modern Home Tour?
I believe the Modern Home Tour is a fun part of an important effort to bring attention to the modern and sustainable lifestyle. Its purpose is simple – to highlight and promote the collaborative exchange between Real Estate Professionals, Architects and Developers and to invite Austinites to join the Modern Movement.
In the 2012 Austin Modern Home Tour you will see homes designed by some very talented Austin modern architects and fantastic modern homes currently on the market. Acclaimed Architectural Critic John Gallagher said it best, “The sense of being in architectural space – what it feels like, how it hits you in the eye and swirls around in your gut, and, if you are very lucky, sends shivers up your spine – cannot be understood except by being there.” Join us on February 4th to be wowed and inspired.
