The doors of 15 gorgeous modern homes in Los Angeles, handpicked by the editors of Dwell magazine, will open to welcome visitors on May 23, 30 and 31.

Some of the highlights include the Berman Residence, by AIA Architect Renzo Zecchetto, a 4,660-square-foot house in Venice outfitted with sliding mahogany screens and glass doors that filter in sunlight and air; the Brentwood Residence by architect Cory Buckner, a reimagined house that had remained untouched since the late 1950s and now boasts flat and butterfly roofs and huge windows offering sweeping views; the Yu Residence by FAIA architect Dean Nota, which perfectly balances privacy and coastal panoramas, and the #9 Dream House by AIA Architect Dan Brunn, a bungalow with an enviable kitchen bedecked with white cabinets custom-made from back-painted starfire glass adhered to baked-on lacquered fiberboard panels.
