This photo highlights a beautifully crafted wood pergola addition that seamlessly blends with the home’s Santa Fe Style Architecture, extending the living space outward while honoring traditional forms. The natural wood beams echo the handcrafted character of Adobe Architecture, while the soft plaster walls and curved façade root the renovation in the region’s timeless building traditions. Designed with an emphasis on Sustainable Architecture New Mexico, the pergola not only provides shade and comfort but also enhances the home’s connection to its surrounding landscape. This thoughtful detail showcases how a Santa Fe Architect can integrate modern additions into historic contexts, resulting in a renovation that feels both authentic and enduring.

What a great combination. More and more we are seeing different types of building materials used together in design. The Belmont Country Club utilized brick, stone, wood, and metal in a way that is both modern and sophisticated. To balance the color palate, white brick was used instead of the traditional red. This is picked up by the subtle white striping present in the natural stone columns, foundation, entrance, and siding facade details. Staying with this theme, a blue/gray color was used for the trim to complement the primary tones in the stone. Metal accents and deep wooden doors and ceiling panels complete the design. The natural stone veneer chosen for the Belmont Country Club was Greenwich Gray Ledgestone Thin Veneer. This material is 100% real stone that has been cut thin for ease of installation. This light, yet durable stone adds texture and depth to any commercial or residential construction project. The use of authentic stone in any space provides a solid foundation to build a beautiful and well rounded design.

The Nakamoto siding was selected specifically for the way it plays into that aesthetic. The horizontal shou sugi ban cedar provided the perfect weathered, timeless effect the team wanted. The homeowner was particularly excited about the siding’s slightly blue tint and how it plays off the water, and the pinkish hints throughout the wood grain were a perfect compliment to the color scheme of the home. The home is exposed to a lot of elements and insects on the water, so the durability of the siding was also key in their decision.
