Sundial House

This ridgetop house in Santa Fe is organized around a pair of perpendicular concrete walls that orient the house toward specific views, provide thermal mass, and act as an element of continuity, linking interior and exterior spaces with the landscape beyond.

The entry procession flows though a recessed courtyard into a cool, shaded vestibule. An opening cut into one of the concrete walls then leads into the main body of the house, where panoramic views of the Sangre de Christos mountains are revealed. A narrow skylight runs the entire 125? length of one of the walls, casting changing shadows on the roughly boardformed concrete over the span of the day.
Deeply cantilevered roof forms create portales around the perimeter. These shaded rest areas are oriented toward the most dramatic vistas.

The house enhances a feeling of connection to the site, both physically, and temporally, and provides a true sense of shelter.
