Santa Fe House Plan Blends Southwest Styles

The Santa Fe is a Pueblo-Spanish Revival home design that shows influences of both Spanish Colonial buildings and Native American pueblos. Stucco walls, stepped parapets, and exposed logs ends are characteristic of the style, which flourished in and around the town of Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the 1930s.

Inside, this Southwest-style home is bright, spacious, and completely contemporary. An abundance of natural light flows into the high-ceilinged hexagonal great room through double sets of wide windows on three sides. This room has panoramic views, as does the covered patio that spans the entire rear.

Standing at the sink in the kitchen, you can look over the great room as well as the patio and landscape beyond. An eating bar fronts the sink, a walk-in pantry fills one corner, and counter space is expansive enough to accommodate several cooks.

The owners' suite is isolated from secondary bedrooms, and has two large walk-in closets that buffer sound from the great room as well. Amenities in its private bathroom include: a spa tub, shower, two basins, and an enclosed toilet. Sliding glass doors in the roomy sleeping area offer another phenomenal rear view, and open onto a recessed, semi-secluded section of the patio. 

The larger bedroom, on the opposite side of the hexagon, has a similar view and patio access to the rear. This bedroom also has a private bathroom, while the other bedroom shares a bathroom with the rest of the household. Laundry appliances are just outside the bedroom doors, in a roomy pass-through utility room that links to the three-car side entry garage.
