San Francisco Living: Home Tours
The San Francisco Living: Home Tours is a yearly event in which ten or so kind homeowners open their doors to the prying public. They’re not just any homeowners, but people with really cool homes, the kind that cause you to marvel when they pop up in your neighborhood. Thanks to the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects, visitors can take an intimate look inside. For a slideshow of this year’s tour, click below.
This year's tour was held in conjunction with the Dwell on Design conference, the weekend of September 15-16. Meandering through dream kitchens and expansive master bathrooms, one variously feels like an architecture critic, a resident, and a glamorous traveler. (At times I felt like I was in a foreign country.)
The Mullen Avenue Residence by Steely Architecture has an open courtyard, which evokes a Mediterranean home, with such a light and calming style that I’m convinced you wouldn’t even notice if the sun weren’t shining.
The greatest treat may have been the Ocean Beach Residence by Aidlin Darling Design, Dwell’s September cover feature “Highway Hideaway.” Though it was great to step inside the pages of Dwell, nothing compares to the immediate realization that this house is so cool, so perfect, that it hurts. My only consolation is flipping to page 150 of the September issue of Dwell over and over again.
