This year’s selection committee is Enrique Montenegro, AIA (SHM Architects), Amy Wynne Leveno, AIA (OFFICIAL), and Braxton Werner, AIA (Wernerfield). The criteria used to select homes for the tour include design excellence, quality and craftsmanship, innovative design solutions and use of materials, and sustainability of design. The selection committee reviewed all submittals and made the final selection of homes to include on the tour.
