Sorry to crush your Eames dreams
February 15th, 2008
but all 1,000 tickets for the 2008 Street of Eames modern home tour are already gone. Immediate absorption of all tickets has become an annual event.
Update: Organizers tell me that tickets sold out in 1 hour. And, please don’t yell at the volunteer staff. Only so many modern architecture fanatics can traverse the gracious hosts’ homes in one day!
The Street of Eames home tour is a phenomenally successful fund-raising event for the after-school programs for low-income and homeless children attending Portland’s Chapman and Beach Elementary schools.
If you didn’t get tickets, you can view a handful of pictures of the homes you won’t get to see on tour at http://www.streetofeames.org.
Get on their 2009 list now….

I was search for information about street of dreams online today and came across a local builder that has won numerous awards. http://www.renaissanc-homes.com, are these two different entities, dreams vs. eames? Just curious, thanks.

Street of Eames is a one-day home tour of modern-style homes (think Atomic Ranch) organized as a fundraiser for after-school programs for a couple Portland elementary schools. It is limited to 1,000 participants.
Street of Dreams is an annual luxury home tour sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Portland in mid-to-late summer for a few weeks. Website: http://www.streetofdreamspdx.com/index.php

Exposing children of any background to new ideas is always a good idea. The fact that these kids are being exposed to high-end modern architecture and design will only help to foster their growing imaginations.
