Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour: Tickets On Sale

LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA – Tickets are on sale for the upcoming "2018 Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour," your opportunity to view in person one of the area's first Eichlers along with ultra-contemporary dream homes featuring art collections and butterfly roofs.

“The Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour is one of our long-running California tours, and it’s one we always look forward to,” says MA+DS founder and president James Leasure. “The Valley is one of the birthplaces of the mid-century modern movement. We are so lucky each year to be able to showcase modern homes from today’s architects, as well as a couple homes that exhibit the iconic mid-century style.”

The self-guided tour is set for Saturday, June 9, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with homes in Los Altos Hills, Cupertino, Sunnyvale and Palo Alto.

Hosted by the Modern Architecture+ Design Society (MA+DS), the event allows architects, designers and builders to showcase their work, while the community can ask questions and explore the area's modern homes up close, inside and out.

According to organizers, homes on the 2018 Silicon Valley Modern Home Tour include:

• A new Palo Alto modern dwelling, designed by Buttrick Projects A+D, that serves as home to a family’s art collection, and doubles as guest house and office space.

• An ultra-contemporary home in Los Altos Hills, designed by M. Designs Architects, that combines architectural design and engineering into smart, sustainable 21st-century living.

• A Guy Ayers Architect restoration of one of the first Eichlers ever built (1948) in Sunnyvale, that features one of the few original butterfly-roofs on an Eichler home.

• A second Sunnyvale Eichler (a 1959 variation of the Anshen and Allen “E-11”), renovated and remodeled by Draco Design and Construction, that includes a brand new butterfly roof in the new design.

• An incredible modern home in Cupertino, designed by Craig Steely Architecture, that floats in the canopy of a dense oak grove in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
