What: The Houston AIA Home Tour Appreciation Party
Where: Eggersman Kitchen in Decorative Center Houston
PC Moment: AIA Houston executive director Rusty Bienvenue welcomed a lively clutch that included AIA featured architects, AIA members, tour homeowners, sponsors and University of Houston College of Architecture and Design fourth-year students who served as tour docents. Talk centered on a weekend home tour that showcased eight architect-designed homes and on the business of architecture and home design.
“It’s one thing to pass by and admire these stunning homes from the outside,” Bienvenue says in a statement. “But an entirely heightened experience to step inside and be captivated by the remarkable thought and talent that went into each design.”
The most interesting aspect of the annual tour is the fact that the architects responsible for the design are present in each home to discuss their planning process, design elements and special insights on their individual projects.
It all took place amid the ultra chic Eggersman showroom where La Lucha Catering provided light bites and St Germain and Split Base Creative served cocktails. The latter two were event sponsors in addition to BEC Engineers and Consultants, La Nova, Western Window Systems and PaperCity magazine. As presenting sponsor Eggersman hosts included Guy Uberti, Leslie Hodge and Micky Nguyen.
