San Francisco Living: Home Tours

AIA San Francisco’s popular San Francisco Living: Home Tours weekend is the first tour series of its kind in the Bay Area to promote a wide variety of architectural styles, neighborhoods, and residences—all from the architect's point of view. The annual program provides design enthusiasts and the general public with an inside look into the world of distinctive residences in San Francisco. Projects are showcased with the designer(s) via an open house format, and tour participants have the opportunity to see some of the city's latest residential projects from the inside out, meet design teams, explore housing trends, and discover design solutions that inspire unique San Francisco living. 2009 SAN FRANCISCO LIVING: HOME TOURS PARTICIPATING ARCHITECTS Saturday: Boor Bridges Architecture Ames Cottage Sasaki / Strachan Forgan Forgan Residence Studio Sarah Willmer Architecture Park Street Residence SB Architects / Bruce Wright Alabama Residence LSarc Randall Street Residence Apparatus Architecture Roanoke Street Residence Sunday: John Maniscalco Architecture Cole Street Residence Axelrod Architects Clock Tower Loft/Addition Edmonds + Lee Architects Oriental Warehouse Mork-Ulnes Design Haight Residence WRT Solomon ETC Mosaica DON'T MISS THESE EVENTS HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WEEKEND: The Architect's Forum (2 LUs) September 10, 6:30 pm Free to participants, $20 Others Location TBA During this educational panel and cocktail reception, tour participants will learn more about the design, construction and overall costs related to the homes showcased in the 2009 San Francisco Living: Home Tours weekend.
