Corten steel and finely fit rockwork form the entry to this home.
The gallery hall, supported by corten columns, uses natural light from above to inform and illuminate the space below.
Exterior steel columns take the structural load and allow for solid glass walls along the north facade.
A clean and spare design in this kitchen uses light boxes between the cabinets to accent the stainless counters and cast-in-place concrete island.

Santa Fe is part of the continuing evolution of contemporary Southwestern architecture characterized by clean, crisp lines and light as a defining element embedded within the design.

The influence of Latin American architects, especially out of Mexico, is prevalent with the use of bold and vivid colors and the interplay of different sized masses to accentuate the spaces they define in a residence.


Building in this style is deceptively complex. Surfaces are flush and every line is critical. What appears clean and simple to the eye in contemporary style often begins right off the foundation and must be preserved throughout the construction for its full effect.

The use of exposed concrete and steel enhance the contemporary style, allowing smoother surfaces and larger openings, but they used as finish materials, these materials require special protection during the life of the construction. Denman & Associates prides itself on the care and attention to detail necessary to achieve the highlights of this style.
