This close-up captures one of the most distinctive elements of Santa Fe Style Architecture — hand-hewn vigas paired with intricately painted decking. The vigas, crafted from natural logs, bring structural honesty and warmth, while the painted patterns on the latillas add artistry rooted in regional tradition. This ceiling treatment highlights the marriage of craftsmanship and cultural storytelling, an approach central to Historic Adobe Rehabilitation and Custom Residential Design Santa Fe. Such detailing ensures that every surface, even above, becomes part of the home’s narrative, reflecting the timeless beauty of Adobe Architecture.

Juxtaposing a Southern Colorado setting with a Moorish feel, North Star Ranch explores a distinctive Mediterranean architectural style in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The owner raises cutting horses, but has spent much of her free time traveling the world. She has brought art and artifacts from those journeys into her home, and they work in combination to establish an uncommon mood. The stone floor, stucco and plaster walls, troweled stucco exterior, and heavy beam and trussed ceilings welcome guests as they enter the home. Open spaces for socializing, both outdoor and in, are what those guests experience but to ensure the owner's privacy, certain spaces such as the master suite and office can be essentially 'locked off' from the rest of the home. Even in the context of the region's extraordinary rock formations, North Star Ranch conveys a strong sense of personality.
