HISTORIC HOUSE REMODEL

This historic adobe residence in the heart of Santa Fe has been thoughtfully reimagined to blend traditional Southwestern charm with modern comfort.

DESIGN CONCEPT

The biggest change was in the main social area. At first, the living and dining rooms were divided by several walls and felt smaller. By removing those partitions, the space is now one large, open area that feels bright, connected, and welcoming. This new layout makes the home feel bigger without adding square footage.

At the same time, the design protects the privacy of the bedrooms. The social heart of the house is open and airy, while the bedrooms remain separated for rest and quiet.

FLOOR PLANS

Exterior Architecture

The home retains its classic adobe character with earth-toned stucco walls and bold cobalt blue accents on doors and windows. The entry portal welcomes visitors with handcrafted wood details, brick pathways, and a lush xeriscape garden that highlights the region’s natural beauty.

INTERIOR

Inside, the remodel embraces light, openness, and simplicity. Natural wood floors, exposed ceiling beams, and plaster walls create a timeless backdrop. Key spaces include:

  • Living Room: A bright and spacious area with large windows, clean lines, and a traditional corner kiva fireplace updated for modern living.

  • Kitchen: Warm oak cabinetry with sleek black countertops, farmhouse sink, and integrated appliances — combining rustic warmth with contemporary function.

  • TV Room: A cozy retreat featuring minimalist built-ins and bold furniture accents, designed for comfort and style.

  • Bedrooms and Bathrooms: Streamlined layouts with natural materials and modern finishes, ensuring both functionality and a calm retreat.
