Our first out-of-state project, Tres Piedras is located in Taos, New Mexico - an area steeped in history and known for its incredible natural beauty. Pitted against the backdrop of the Taos Mountain Range on a vast open high desert site. The landscape itself - earth, light, wind, and horizon became the foundation and inspiration for the design.
The house is conceived as a series of monolithic volumes, each organized around a specific programmatic function and carefully placed to capture different views of the surrounding landscape. The forms are oriented and juxtaposed to create a dynamic silhouette against the mountain range, but more importantly, they maximize southern exposures and draw from the climate-responsive design strategies the region is known for.

Nestled within this arid open terrain of sagebrush and volcanic soil. Tres Piedras embraces a slower and more grounded reading of space — one closely tied to the horizon, the movement of sunlight throughout the day, and the changing character of the mountains through the seasons.
