2020 Austin Modern Home Tour Giveaway!

LeAnn Wester Stephenson

In Austin we have several official mottos, the most commonly known “Keep Austin Weird”, closely followed by our “Live Music Capital of the World” moniker. We have ACL and SXSW for our music and film enthusiast, and for design & architecture lovers ... we have the Austin Modern Home Tour. Every year, for the past 12 years, the tour has given some of Austin's best architects, designers, home builders, and developers the unique opportunity to showcase their skill and talent to the community in which they work. This year’s tour is Saturday, February 22, 2020.  After reading the post head over to our Instagram account and enter our FREE Giveaway to win two tickets!!

Originally concepted by Krisstina Wise of Goodlife Luxury, and developed and produced by the Modern Architecture + Design Society (MA+DS), the annual Austin Modern Home Tour is a self-guided tour that gives the community a rare chance to explore some of Austin’s amazing modern homes.

Returning this year, is the Mid-Century Modern Block Party 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 remains the tour’s non-profit beneficiary and volunteer partner. Students will help staff the event in exchange for an 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:

A Mid-Century Modern home in Rollingwood, built in 1964 by Austin’s own A.D. Stenger, recently renovated and updated by Matt Fajkus Architecture and Miars Construction in a way that reinforces and rejuvenates the classic original design.
