Every year, Southern Living builds three Idea Houses -- homes designed to showcase the best new ideas in architecture and interior design. Here, our editors reveal their favorite design tips and architectural innovations from each of the 2005 houses, located in Atlanta, Georgia; Choudrant, Louisiana; and DeLand, Florida.

We've included links to virtual tours of each Idea House, plus driving directions to the homes themselves. Feel free to grab a cup of coffee, sit down, and explore the highlights of the these Southern Living Idea Houses.
