AIA San Francisco is proud to present the 9th annual, San Francisco Living: Home Tours, which remains the first of its kind in the Bay Area. The AIA SF Home Tours Series serves to advance our collective understanding of how architecture impacts our daily life. Each year we celebrate the wealth of great residential design in our region, showcasing ways innovative structures provide more than shelter, but contribute to our unique quality of life. The San Francisco Living: Home Tours provides visitors with the exclusive opportunity to see some of the city's most cutting-edge residential projects from the inside out. Complementary programs held throughout the weekend provide individuals with unique opportunities to meet renowned design teams, gain a deeper understanding of the design process, explore housing trends and discover design solutions that demonstrate the positive impact of great design as it contributes to our economy, environment and community identity. It’s been said that bad architecture is said as much a failure of psychology as of design. The AIA SF Home Tours demonstrates the intimate bond that’s created between architects and their clients as they explore design’s relationship with lifestyle and our region’s built and natural terrain. This year a diverse collection of projects will be presented as we explore the story of great architecture in San Francisco.
