2023 AIA Dallas Tour of Homes Promises to Wow With Architect-Selected Contemporary Designs

The 2023 AIA Dallas Tour of Homes is one you won’t want to miss if Maestri Studio’s contemporary design in East Dallas is any indication. Dubbed “Garden Jewel” by the architecture firm, it’s one of six homes on this year’s 17th annual event planned for October 28-29.

The tour, presented by eggersmann Kitchens & Home Living, will feature architect-designed homes throughout the city including two residences in East Dallas, one in Highland Park, two in Preston Hollow, and one in Far North Dallas. The selections showcase the latest in contemporary style as well as how architects help clients overcome design challenges to achieve noteworthy spaces.

The 2023 AIA Dallas Tour of Homes is co-chaired by Andrew Meckfessel, AIA, NCARB, and Andrew Stiglmeier, AIA, RID.

“We are excited as always to share stunning home designs by Dallas-based architects at this Tour of Homes, but we are especially happy to see some up-and-coming architects’ work on this year’s tour,” Meckfessel said in a press release.

Projects on this year’s tour range from a renovation and expansion of a 1920s Craftsman home in the Junius Heights Historic District to fit a family of four, to rebuilding from the ground up a much-loved Preston Hollow home, to accommodating dual goals of being able to age in place and entertain grandchildren and guests.

“This year’s submissions really stood out to the selection committee as excellent examples of residential architecture that addressed a wide variety of needs, style preferences, scale, and budget,” Stiglmeier added.
