As modern architecture increases in popularity -- even in Houston -- those who love a sneak peek into other people's homes need to mark their calendars for Saturday, Sept. 23, when the Modern Architecture + Design Society hosts its seventh annual event here.

Eight homes have been lined up for the tour that will take you into some of the city's best, new architect-designed modern homes. The event is 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. Sept. 23. Tickets are $40. VIP Access tickets, which include a Sept. 21 reception and a pass to the tour, are $100.

The homes are sprinkled throughout the city and represent homes by architects Charles Todd Helton Architect, m+a architecture studio, Origin Architects, Intexure Architects, refuGe Design Studio, On Point Custom Homes and two homes by studioMET.

The Lawndale Art Center will again be this year's local nonprofit partner, helping staff the tour in exchange for a donation.
