Everyone will have a chance to step inside some of the most beautifully designed houses in Houston when the American Institute of Architects hosts its 2024 AIA Houston Home Tour, which is set for Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3.

Presented by Eggersmann USA, the two-day tour showcases nine of the finest examples of new residential architecture built in the last five years in Houston by AIA architects. These homes, which span a range of styles from traditional to contemporary, were selected for their high-quality craftsmanship, design excellence, innovative solutions and sustainability features.

This year’s Houston Home Tour include residences in The Heights, Montrose, Oak Forest and Hunters Creek Village neighborhoods. Each house was designed by a different esteemed architectural firm: studioMET Architects, Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, Intexure Architects, Benjamin Johnston Design, Hollenbeck Architects, m + a Architecture Studio, Collaborative Design Group, 2scale Architects and McIntyre + Robinowitz Architects.
