Butterfly House

Architecturally significant, The Butterfly House is a re-creation of a classic case-modern home with wings, ample glass, and sloped ceilings.  This one-story home sits on one acre of secluded property with unobstructed views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains about five minutes from the Santa Fe Opera in the Tesuque area.

The initial design concept of this residence was to provide a vibrant entry and open living space in the heart of supporting spaces rooted in the earth. The implied butterfly roof is the intersection of these spaces creating a spirited appearance from a distance and up close. The house was designed to reflect an environment of health and repose within the surrounding High Desert of north Santa Fe. 

The home is 2100 square feet with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The media room and primary bedroom both have flat-screen televisions. A sofa and desk are located in the media room for a quiet workspace. The kitchen shines with black granite countertops, an island, and top-of-the-line appliances. The patio, which features a gas grill, is accessible from both the living area and the primary suite, and looks northeast, directly at the mountains. Other features include a wood-burning fireplace, an over-sized shower in the primary bath, and a split bedroom design. The home is furnished with a mid-century and modern style, creating a spacious, comfortable, light-filled home that is both contemporary and loyal to the Santa Fe landscape. It incorporates environmentally conscious systems for the management of water, waste, heating and cooling in order to help preserve the beauty of the New Mexican landscape. With concrete zoned radiant heated floors, the house is oriented and was built to assure optimal natural heating and cooling and has state of the art high powered ceiling fans to provide comfort year-round.
