I am a volunteer home docent at this event looking very forward to my home tour on Sunday! While I think these tours are such a pleasure to take part of, especially to see the best of new modern developments in San Francisco, the only complaint I have is that the interiors of these places are all architecturally biased and often ignore the exquisite sensory delights of interior decoration! I get the streamlined design trend, but the AIA's picks very much define their side of the fence when it comes to the age old debate of architect vs. interior designer.
