2011 MODERN ATLANTA HOME TOUR

How Do You Define Your Personal Space?

Since 2007, Modern Atlanta Home Tour has inspired, entertained, and educated thousands of fans and an admiring public in love with contemporary architecture and design. The highly sought tour is also a shining example of Atlanta unleashing its creative powers for a new language of bold urbanism to the rest of the nation. Modern Atlanta Home Tour examines the full vernacular of modern residential design currently seen in Atlanta, from the cutting-edge with the use of new sustainable materials and digital technology, all the way back to the post-modern era when architecture was inspired by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles & Ray Eames. You will also witness how thoughtful architects are bringing their passion for contemporary excellence into the interiors of more traditional homes with some amazing results, and fine examples of cool conversion-projects, like that of shipping containers and barns, where both exterior and interior are interpreted to the relevant concerns and needs of today.

Perkins+Will Studio
A new addition to this year’s touring circuit, MA is excited to include commercial architecture in the mix with a tour of the very cool and newly renovated Perkins+Will studio located at 1315 Peachtree Street with breathtaking views of Atlanta High Museum of Art and the Midtown skyline. 1315 is an outstanding example of architecture for the people and represents P+W strong commitment to bold sustainable design, putting Atlanta on a clear path to zero carbon emissions.

There is plenty to be excited about for 2011 and our knowledgeable MA volunteers are at your disposal to help guide you and answer questions. On behalf of our proud sponsors, we look forward to seeing you in June!
