Step inside 14 magnificent Austin abodes during the AIA Homes Tour 2018

Architecture is one of the rare art forms that invites the viewer into the work. Instead of being a passive observer, we can traipse and touch, interact and marvel. This year, the AIA Austin Homes Tour, arguably Austin's premier architecture tour, is back with it's most exciting lineup to date. Now in its 32nd year, the AIA Austin Homes Tour 2018 [https://aiaaustinhomestour.com/] runs October 27-28, and showcases 14 of the best homes in Austin (and one in San Marcos). Like most years, the weekend features some of the most prominent and impressive architecture firms in the city including A Parallel Architecture, A. Gruppo Architects, Chas Architects, Clayton & Little, Dick Clark + Associates, FAB Architecture, Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects, Jay Hargrave Architecture, Matt Fajkus Architecture, Restructure Studio, Side Angle Side, Tim Cuppett Architects, Webber + Studio Architects, and Weiss Architecture. On display is a range of styles from opulent new construction (we're looking at you, Dick Clark + Associates) to a swank '70s remodel from A. Gruppo's expert team. The self-guided tour runs both Saturday and Sunday from 10 am-6 pm. For the first time ever, AIA Austin will offer special VIP wristbandsfor $35 online or in-person at AIA Austin, Arete Kitchens, Nannie Inez, and Urbanspace. Wristbands can also be purchased during the tour for $45. --- 10th Street Home Clarksville Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects This project was a preservation/celebration of the historic character of the original house, a structure built by Austin builder Nick Dawson.
