Property details:
The covered shaded brick patio provides a welcome entrance to the home.
Windows to the east look towards the Sangre de Cristo mountains, while
those to the south give the home its passive solar properties.
The main door leads to the great room which combines living, dining, and
kitchen spaces. Graywater planters along the window support a lush
array of plants and also recycle water. The door to the right of
the kitchen leads to the remainder of the home.
The kiva fireplace gives a cozy focal point to the living section of the
great room. Here you have the elements of earth in the adobe
walls, timber in the massive viga ceiling, and the warmth of brick
floors.
The kitchen features a tile backsplash, wooden counters and an island
that functions as combination of food preparation area, dining space,
and library for holding cookbooks and other reading material. Knotty
pine cabinetry provides ample storage. The painted object on the
left of this picture is a SunFrost DC refrigerator/freezer.
This arched doorway by the kitchen leads to the remainder of the home.
The first couple of doors on the right open to the electrical systems
and water pressure tanks while those toward the back provide storage.
The cabinet at the left contains the Water Operations Module (WOM).
This open part of the hallway also contains a laundry nook. The
cabinet in this picture conceals the on-demand hot water heater.
The doorway to the right leads to the bathroom.
The tiled bath tub gives the bathroom an elegant feel. The high
windows bring in ample light, yet provide privacy.
The smaller of the two bedroom still contains a lot a space. Here
you see the tongue-and-groove ceiling, the operable window to the
outside to bring in fresh air, and the gray-water planter.
The spacious and romantic master bedroom provides a perfect relaxation
spot.
