The eighth annual AIA Dallas Tour of Homes, our only citywide home tour, takes place November 1-2. There are nine featured homes — including the public debut of a recently completed house made from shipping containers — selected by local architects for their outstanding residential architecture. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at any door the weekend of.
The homes reside in neighborhoods across Dallas and represent myriad styles, from midcentury modern to modern villa. This is a sneak peek.

Rosa Road
This house on Rosa Road, just minutes from Preston Hollow, is a modern farmhouse reminiscent of a Napa Valley estate. It was designed as a series of small pavilions connected by glass links; the structures weave their way through existing trees.
Simple board and batten gables structures are married with highly textured landscape elements to create a harmonious visual balance. The light-filled interior contains the owner's collection of paintings and sculpture.
