Butterfly House
Santa Fe, NM
2011
Project Overview
The Butterfly House is a 1,700 square foot residence designed as a dwelling of health and repose within the surrounding high desert of north Santa Fe. The implied butterfly roof is the intersection of the Entry and Living Room, creating a spirited appearance from a distance and up-close, and orienting views from the Living Room and Patio directly to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
