Home Tours
Summer 2008 Home Tour Series
[A Stroll Through Venezia]
Like its Western European namesake, the romanticism of Venice, California conjures up images of exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and inventive artistry sometimes more associated with a bygone era than a 21st Century metropolis. Those halcyon days are back at AIA/LA’s Venice Home Tour, which comprises contemporary dwellings that evoke the great passion and unique flavor of one of California’s most beloved and eclectic neighborhoods.
Featuring homes by
Mark Baez - M
Emily Kovner – EM Architects
David Reddy, AIA – R&D Architects
Michele Saee – Michele Saee Studio
Steven Shortridge, AIA – CALLAS SHORTRIDGE architects
