| 34th Annual Rice Design Alliance Architecture Tour Visit eight houses in Houston's Southgate neighborhood. March 20 - 21 // 1 - 6pm |
| Southgate is located inside the 610 Loop and is bounded by University Boulevard to the north, Travis to the east, W. Holcombe to the south, and Greenbriar to the west. The neighborhood is adjacent to Rice University and the Texas Medical Center, two Houston institutions that are expanding substantially. Southgate is undergoing considerable change, yet it has retained its close-knit community feeling. Architects and designers working in the neighborhood have been successful integrating their designs into the older fabric and staying within the neighborhood's strict deed restrictions. NOTE: The tour is open only to RDA members and their guests. RDA memberships begin at $45 and can be purchased in advance at the RDA office(713.348.4876) or on the tour and include one complimentary tour ticket at the Student or Individual level or two complimentary tickets at the Household level and above. www.ricedesignalliance.org |
