Custom Home Construction
We build bespoke Southwestern-style homes with exposed adobe walls, viga ceilings, and custom millwork. Our process integrates energy-efficient materials like insulated concrete forms and solar arrays. Clients receive tailored designs that blend traditional aesthetics with modern functionality, including handcrafted details like carved mesquite doors and colored concrete flooring.
Historic Preservation
Specializing in restoring historic structures like the 1880s Pasquale House and Old Santa Fe Trail Building, we use on-site adobe manufacturing and lime plaster techniques. Our team preserves architectural integrity while updating systems for modern use, earning recognition from the Arizona Preservation Foundation and National Historic Registry.
Adobe Restoration
We repair and rebuild adobe walls using traditional methods, including site-cast adobes and earthen plasters. Projects like the Jelks Farm and Canoa Ranch Regional Park involved seismic reinforcement and historic window restoration, ensuring structural longevity while maintaining authentic finishes.
Energy-Efficient Building
Our energy-efficient homes feature insulated concrete forms, photovoltaic arrays, and passive solar design. For example, the Mordasini Villas project incorporated corrugated metal roofs and colored concrete floors to reduce energy consumption while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Remodeling
We undertake extensive remodels like the 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival home, updating electrical systems, installing custom tilework, and adding modern amenities. Projects often include landscape integration, such as the 5,000 sq ft Santa Fe remodel with a lap pool and photovoltaic array.
