The Southern Arizona branch of the American Institute of Architects is giving a peek into some impressive homes this year.

The AIA's Home Tour, slated for next Sunday, includes homes that look futuristic, one that looks like a shipping container (because it is), and a home with a modest exterior but wows inside.

This year marks the 20th that the AIA here has sponsored the tour. Among those in this year's event:

Tucson Mountain House - A custom-built rammed-earth home with a music recording studio.

Mabel Street Residence - A 1927 bungalow that has been remodeled.

The Tuesday + Thursday House - The two-story home has a glass railed stairway and a cistern to collect rainfall.

Sentinel Plaza Senior Housing - The first major residential development in Rio Nuevo.

Wetlaufer Residence - A contemporary take on traditional objects and materials.

Shipping-Container House - Intermodal containers transformed into a living space.
