The Indianapolis Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will host its popular Indy Architects’ Home Tour from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 22-23. The self-guided tour includes seven homes in Indianapolis that offer a wide range of design styles and trends. There’s the glitzy high-rise downtown condo at 429 on the Park overlooking the American Legion Mall, a contemporary house in Fountain Square with ceilings made from re-claimed wood pallets and a one-of-a-kind metal staircase created by the designer. In Lockerbie, you’ll see how a new house can blend in with a historic neighborhood.

The biennial tour draws thousands of visitors who get a chance to peek inside some of the most creative home designs by Indianapolis architects.

Two of those former visitors, Cindy Bedrick and Doug Metrish were so inspired by a not-so-big house on the Architects’ Home Tour several years ago, they decided to work with an architect to help them design a unique home that would fit their lifestyle and their budget. Their home is featured on this year’s tour.
