Butterfly House

SUMMARY
The Butterfly House is an architecturally noteworthy recreation 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. 

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. 

LIVING AREA
Like the rest of the home, the living room is furnished in the Mid-Century Modern style. It features floor-to-ceiling windows across from the sofa, and large picture windows around the fireplace.

A dedicated TV room is available down the hall from the living room.

KITCHEN AND DINING
The large kitchen features ample space on the black granite countertops, double ovens, and an island/breakfast bar. The kitchen is open to the dining area (with seating for six) and living room.

BED AND BATH
The home has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The primary bathroom has an over-sized shower and a split bedroom design.

OUTDOOR SPACE
The patio features dining space for four and is the perfect place to soak in the amazing views that this home has to offer.
