Saturday, February 4th, the Austin Modern Home Tour is celebrating its fifth anniversary in style. Join the tour to peep an impressive variety of sustainable solutions Austin architects have incorporated into their spaces that “foster progressive, yet responsible design.” Meet homes with vanishing edge pools, electric car charge hook ups, private outdoor showers, and even a floating living roof. And then meet the architects and designers responsible for the intuitive and innovative designs. In Austin, not only is modern, “a way of life, a design style, and a way to embrace the changing times,” it is also visually stunning and remarkably clever.
