Bainbridge Island has taken a big hit during the economic downturn, especially the housing market.  The Tour of Architects, slated for March 20 & 21, may convince you that NOW is the perfect time to build or remodel!
 
The upcoming Bainbridge Island Tour of Architects, presented by Seattle Homes and Lifestyles and GEM, LLC - will showcase private homes, commercial properties and mixed-use projects, featuring the Island's finest architects and designers.  Architects will be on hand to greet the public, and answer questions about your upcoming projects! 
 
This exciting tour will offer a glimse at homes and buildings created with a wide variety of budgets. 
 
On Saturday, Architects will present New Construction and Remodel projects, including adaptive reuse and more.  
 
 
On Sunday, the tour will emphasize homes and buildings that have implemented Energy Efficient Designs and Earth Friendly Materials. You will save money if you incorporate energy efficient concepts in your next project.
