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.

Once the site of the Mayor's carriage house in the 1800s, this year's Home Tours headquarters, Stable, maintains the unique character of its original structure with updated modern elements. Revived by Malcolm Davis Architecture, the building is now home to Malcolm’s architectural practice, several small business offices and an apartment. The old carriage space below is a storefront for Stable Café, Mission Creek Kitchen and a gallery space, The Stable Salon.
