Situated high on a ridge, the Redondo house offers 360-degree views towards the Rio Grand and mountains towards the east and west.

Redondo gate is inspired by the Jemez Mountain Range delineating the western horizon beyond. The weathered steel projects strength without undue mass.

Taking its cue from the traditional southwest round house, the circular floor plan incorporates public (kitchen /dinning) and private (bedrooms/study) spaces, embraces the sunken living room in concentric bands. 

The interior is a contemporary interpretation of traditional materials, rough timber posts, hand plastered walls and exposed wood ceilings juxtaposed with contemporary materials and large sliding glass doors onto extensive patios.

The hallway encircles the sunken living room adding visual drama when moving throughout the house.

The various levels in the house speak to the ritual of procession, arrival and entry.
