Participate in the Check-In Challenge!

Here’s how it works:

When you’re touring a home, go to aiaaustinhomestour.com on your mobile device and find the house. Fill in the check in pop-up form that comes up, and you’ll be entered into a drawing. Two lucky winners will be selected at random to receive iPads! The more check-ins you have, the more entries you’ll receive!

Only one Check-In per house.

Check-Ins occur at official check-in locations outside the homes during Tour hours.

Check-Ins will post to your Facebook page.

iPads generously provided by Melde Construction.

Accessibility

Because these are private homes, special accommodations may not be possible. Please call AIA Austin if you would like more information about which homes are accessible.

Photography

Please remember, no photos may be taken inside the homes on the tour— there are no exceptions.

Parking

This is a self-driving tour. There may be restricted parking or special shuttles from a centralized parking area for one or two houses this year. Rules will be apparent at the houses, so please be respectful of signs and parking attendants as you proceed on the tour.

Route

We offer a suggested route in the pages ahead, but feel free to go to any house in any order you choose! Enjoy the tour!
