House in the High Desert

Built for clients that entertain frequent overnight quests, this house was designed to serve as a mini-retreat center. Careful location of a separate Guest House created two courtyards: an garden entrance courtyard and a private pool courtyard overlooking Santa Fe. Deep overhangs create generous shaded porches and provide cool shelter from the searing sun. The residence was designed to reflect the materials and architecture indigenous to the region, blending beautifully into the surrounding Turquoise Hills while taking advantage of the dramatic views offered by the site.
