If you think Cowtown is full of milquetoast architecture, you’ve obviously never been to the annual Fort Worth AIA Home Tour. This year’s event, slated for April 7-8, features some intensely creative homes in some of Fort Worth’s most desirable neighborhoods.
The five homes on this year’s tour exhibit a variety of living accommodations and architectural styles, all demonstrating the value that architects can bring to residential projects. This year features homes by Norman Ward, FAIA; Marta Rozanich, AIA; 97w; Paul Dennehy, AIA; and Brandon Allen, AIA.
Advance tickets are on sale for $20 each and can be purchased on AIA Fort Worth website or at the office. Regular tickets can be purchased at each of the homes during the weekend of the tour for $25 each, or single-home passes for $10 each.
Proceeds from the AIA Fort Worth Homes Tour support the variety of programs offered to the public throughout the year, and has quickly become one of the chapter’s most important – and exciting – outreach programs. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore these homes and experience what great residential design can do for you.
Daltxrealestate.com will be giving away a pair of tickets to the home tour next week! Stay tuned for your chance to win! In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at this year’s featured homes and the architects who designed them:
