The annual American Institute of Architects home tour will make its return this November. While we’re anxiously waiting to hear which beautiful Dallas homes will be on this year’s docket, AIA has been kind enough to quench our home ogling thirst with a few teasers. Stop by every weekday morning through September 23 to glimpse a new lovely corner and read explanations from the talented architects behind them, then go on the hunt for them in person, when the 9th annual AIA Dallas Tour of Homes kicks off November 14. Can’t handle the wait? Starting September 25, you can head to www.hometourdallas.com to see the close-ups we’re featuring paired with photos and information about the entire tour home.

The custom uplights (only one pictured) provide indirect lighting for the main living space below. The design provides a solution for replacing lamps at the double height living space. Materials include ipe wood, blackened steel angles, patinaed copper conduit, and a 20” LSI reflector. The light fixture support assembly was designed and constructed by the architect and his craftsman.
