For a Bobbit Drive home mostly rebuilt on an existing foundation, AMDG Studios focused on providing an active 80-year-old client who entertains often and likes to bake with a light-filled space ready to accommodate a wheelchair when the time comes and dedicated suite for a future caretaker.

Participants in this year’s version of Dallas’ only citywide home tour curated by architects will find half the stops in People Newspapers’ markets.

The 17th annual AIA Dallas Tour of Homes, presented by eggersmann Kitchens & Home Living, returns Oct. 28 and 29 featuring six homes, including one in Highland Park and two in Preston Hollow.

The self-guided tour also includes two in East Dallas and one in Far North Dallas.

“We are excited as always to share stunning home designs by Dallas-based architects at this tour of homes, but we are especially happy to see some up-and-coming architects’ work on this year’s tour,” co-chair Andrew Meckfessel said.

This year’s collection features the latest in contemporary style while showcasing how architects help clients overcome design challenges with beautiful solutions.

See how a renovation and expansion of a 1920s Craftsman home in the Junius Heights Historic District fit a family of four and how designers accommodated the dual goals of being able to age in place and entertain grandchildren and guests.

“This year’s submissions really stood out to the selection committee as excellent examples of residential architecture that addressed a wide variety of needs, style preferences, scale, and budget,” co-chair Andrew Stiglmeier added.

The narrow lot (50-feet wide) on Grassmere Lane in Highland Park posed creative challenges for Christi Luter of Janson Luter Architects who fulfilled the client’s wishes for a breakfast nook and kitchen island by creating an island with built-in seating. The corner lot allowed opportunities for natural light and expansive second floor views. Charles Davis Smith
