Get a Rare Look Inside Houston’s Most Stunning Private Homes — West U, Tanglewood, Montrose and More

We here at PaperCity consider ourselves architecture-obsessed, so we look forward to the annual American Institute of Architects (AIA) Houston Home Tour every year.

For this year’s tour, October 19 and 20, a jury of industry experts has selected eight area homes that represent the finest in new residential architecture.

The two-day self guided tour is open to the public and provides a rare peek inside some of Houston’s most fabulously appointed private houses in beautiful neighborhoods, from Montrose to Tanglewood, and West University to Boulevard Oaks.

The homes on this year’s roster were designed by Collaborative Design Group Architecture & Interiors, Collaborative Designworks, Mirador Group, Reagan | Andre Architecture, Content Architecture, Paul N. Brow Architect and studioMet Architects, which has two homes on the tour.

Home tour chair Rob Robinowitz, AIA, of McIntyre + Robinowitz notes that the success of each home is the result of an intense collaboration between the homeowner and his or her architect and builder.
