About this event

We're bringing back one of our most popular and memorable events: in-person tours of Dwell-worthy homes.

We’re starting in Los Angeles, a city that we believe has one of the most dynamic design scenes in the country.

The 3-hour event will be held October 19th, 2024, and include tours of three architecturally amazing houses, plus a few additional locations, on the Eastside. These homes represent new thinking about residential design rooted in the city’s famed spirit of experimentation.

The tour includes:


  • Tours of three architecturally amazing private homes in Los Angeles.
  • A one-year subscription or renewal to Dwell.com and Dwell magazine.
  • A gift bag containing the latest issue, an exclusive event publication, and other exclusive swag.
  • Coffee meetup to kick off the tour and meet fellow attendees.
  • First access to future Home tours.


A little bit more about the homes on the tour:


Atwater Village

One half of the daring and playfully irreverent architecture firm Design, Bitches, Rebecca Rudolph just completed her own home, which serves as a testing ground for new ideas.


Renovated Craftsman

Los Feliz

Architect Chet Callahan renovated this his own historic home, preserving its original detail while adding more than a few bold, contemporary interventions.


Abbott Hill House

Highland Park

Designer Isaac Resnikoff and Lizz Wasserman built the perfect perch for their family on a steep site, with creative details and materials throughout the net-zero home.
