Marin Living: Home Tours

May 15 is the debut of AIA San Francisco’s popular Home Tours program in Marin. As the first series of its kind in the Bay Area, the annual tours promote a variety of architectural styles, neighborhoods, and residences—all from the architect’s point of view. Projects are showcased with the designer(s) via an open house format, and tour participants have the opportunity to see some of Marin’s latest residential projects, meet design teams, explore housing trends, and discover design solutions that inspire unique Marin living. Visit www.aiasf.org/hometours for more information.

Proceeds from the 2010 Marin Designers Showcase support the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership’s Volunteer Programs, which include the mobilization of volunteers and coordination of volunteer projects that directly benefit older adults, children & youth, the economically disadvantaged, and the broader Marin community.
