Four Unique Features of the Tour

Whatever your interest, you’ll find something to love during the tour. Organizers have designed your tour experience around four pillars of the neighborhood:

Architecture

Expansive walls of glass allow massive amounts of sunlight to filter in, removing the confines of enclosed space to reveal the natural environment and letting nature take an active role in the home. 

Art

The artists in mid-20th century America ruled an aesthetic realm exploding with optimism and confidence and celebrating the self-expression of a liberated world. They made their own rules defining their activities as evidence of truth and beauty.

Interiors

The most important material for the interiors is sunlight. This openness requires furniture to play a new role. Seating, surfaces and storage must go beyond their originally intended function, serving to delineate living space and become part of the architecture.

Landscape

Each house is uniquely oriented on its lot to maximize its privacy and landscape view, with sight lines intentionally chosen to enhance the common space shared by each structure. Native plant materials both define individual spaces and convey a feeling of joint community presence.


 

Each Tour, A New Poster. Introducing 2026:

The poster was designed by Rick Heffner, Hollin Hills resident, designer, and faculty member of George Mason University's School of Art, to commemorate the 2026 Hollin Hills House + Garden Tour. It features various models of Hollin Hills homes. Prints are available for pre-order through the ticket portal for pick-up at registration on the day of the tour, and will be available for purchase at the registration desk.
