This magnificent deck for this home in Hillcrest was designed after my client had a vision for his deck to loom over the valley that leads out of Santa Fe. This view over the ski basin at the foot of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains is truly a view to envy. Plus, this deck is cantilevered from the house so that there’s enough space to host friends for outdoor gatherings—which certainly comes in handy during COVID. I’m sure he’s had quite a few socially distanced dinner parties these last few months!

We're heading into chillier weather, and I'm so excited to start using my fireplace again. Fireplaces aren’t only about warmth, they’re also about the aesthetic experience they bring—there’s something so comforting about the sound of a crackling fire in the background. This small and sweet Kiva fireplace in this studio I designed in Tesuque is certainly about the aesthetic experience as well. The simple style of this one—a minimalist hole in the wall you can build a fire inside—is divine. I would put a kiva fireplace in every room if I could, they are so uplifting!

Now this is a skyline! Even though I often yearn for more urban life I do enjoy the wonderful earth materials such as adobe and straw bale we get to build with in Santa Fe.

It was fascinating to learn about Rose Tarlow’s creative process while reading “Your Personal Story.” Rose is an immensely talented interior designer who has her own store in California (@rosetarlowmelrosehouse). She often designs a whole room around one beautiful, architectural antique. She has incredible personal style, and it shines in the forefront of everything she does. She loves mixing together contemporary, traditional, and eclectic elements, along with anything that inspires her. Reading her book inspired me to define my own personal style, and I’m sure it’s helped others define theirs.

Designing stylistic and contemporary structures feel like playing within a different language. Most of the contemporary structures I've done from scratch are located in Tesuque because they don’t enforce mandates that uphold a historical style of architecture. It’s so fun to work with steel canales and steel portals—which allow for the proportions that delineate the clean and contemporary lines of this house. An interesting backstory of this design is that an Acequia runs through the property and there wasn’t much space between it and the hill this house resides on. We had to build a bridge during construction, and while that was being built, we renovated the guest house. The area experienced a big flood 2 summers ago, but the mighty little bridge survived.

The monochromatic style of this living room in a Hillcrest home was entirely intentional. Everything is the same color—the flag stone, the walls, the wood, the furniture. This allows the client’s fantastic and colorful art collection to be at the center of attention in this space (as it should be!). And the expansive windows that overlook the porch drive the idea of an inside-outside type of space. Even while you’re watching TV, you’re connected to the nature that surrounds you.

This sketch holds a special place in my heart because this was the first pumice-crete project I ever worked on. (And yes, pumice-crete is exactly what it sounds like—a very strong material that is a mix of both pumice and concrete.) The walls for this house were 16” thick! The pitched roof gave this space a nice spacious rhythm, and the combination of the pitched roof with the parapets made it feel like a small, cozy, fortified village. Here we also mixed Mica into the mud plaster for that added Land of Enchantment sparkle.
