Come early June, spotlights will shine on fresh examples of Atlanta’s modern home movement from Chastain Park to Piedmont Heights, Morningside, Virginia-Highland and beyond.
Organized by MA!, the Atlanta Design Festival (formerly Design is Human Atlanta) returns to the Big Peach from June 2 to 11.
This year’s theme: Design Economy in Atlanta and America’s Southeast.
Hard to believe, but the festival turns a decade old this year. A perennial favorite is the tour of modern homes, which highlights the best of Atlanta’s sustainable, contemporary, and otherwise innovative design.
Additional homes—and commercial properties on a similar tour—will likely be added before showtime. Satellite tours of impressive modern domiciles are also scheduled for Athens and Asheville.
Tickets for all three residential city tours are $40—or $95 for a VIP shuttle service in Atlanta. The Residential Atlanta tour is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 10 and 11.
