For those who admire modern architecture or are looking for inspiration, there’s plenty to take in at Design Society’s 2022 Modern Home Tour, which returns as an in-person event on March 19 after cancellation in 2020 and a virtual tour in 2021.
When the Garcias decided to build a new home, DeeDee Garcia, 51, decided to retire from her job as an optometrist to devote her time to the project. They spent a year planning and getting permits, then built the home eight feet off the ground with a serious drainage system underneath to be in line with new city building codes.
“Everything is on an app. It’s pretty remarkable, the biggest difference is the way electronics work. It is so modern,” Gilbert Garcia said. “I’m still learning. When I’m in doubt I ask my daughter.” “We like to entertain. We like being the family where the soccer party’s at. Where the school event is at. We like to behouse,” Gilbert Garcia said. “Before, we would split up some in the den and some in the kitchen and it just wasn’t conducive to events. I wanted a big open floor plan with a separate area for teenagers so we can see them but not hear them.”
Fully designed with construction well under way, the Garcias contacted You one day to say that they’d decided that this home would be their last, so it needed to be more accessible, considering its tall elevation. The architect quickly pivoted, finding a place to install a lift from the garage level to the first floor and an elevator from the first to the second floor.
For people who simply admire modern architecture, there’s plenty to look at in the tour’s six homes. For those looking for ideas for their own new construction, remodeling or even decorating projects, the homes on tour can be approached as idea houses, from which you can launch your own projects.
