Hideaway

Hideaway Historic Eastside

Located on Santa Fe’s Historic Eastside, this unique and perfectly executed custom home received the ultimate Green Building seal of approval, awarded the LEED Platinum Certification.

Featuring rammed earth walls and fireplaces, and rustic contemporary design, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, it is perched on a rolling wooded site.  A portion of the house bridges an arroyo, floating high above the ground. Metaphorically, the home bridges past and present: traditional construction with high performance building systems and modern spaces, with richly textured materials. The covered outdoor entry sequence takes one through an enclosed courtyard, flanked by a detached guest casita and down a bridge-like passage to the entry.

Immediately entering the home, the dining room, which employs wood and cable stay trusses, spans the arroyo, providing ample glass to soak in the majestic New Mexico landscape. Deeply weathered salvaged wood accents are artistically incorporated into the interior core, along with locally harvested spruce in the ceilings. Many energy and resource conserving features have been employed, providing a totally sustainable environment for healthy living.

Nestled among pinon and juniper trees in the northern Santa Fe foothills, this contemporary transitional residence interprets the best qualities of traditional Santa Fe style with the sharp edges of contemporary modernism.  The NY owner/architect team was inspired by a “lighthouse” trapezoid shape that is found throughout the design and construction. The unique shape is evident in all angles and areas of the home; which is immediately evident, as you enter off the driveway, presenting with a series of colored stucco walls that appear to have been carved to create open windows with sloped sills and door openings in unique shapes and sizes.  Passing through the entry courtyard, a staggered geometric walk leads through a pivot door and into the great room with its 13-foot beamed ceiling. A massive fireplace wall in contemporary Spanish tile is penetrated by floor-to-ceiling glass, offering dramatic Santa Fe east and west mountain range views. Not only is the home a masterful collection of spaces, but it houses a treasure trove of museum-quality furniture, lighting and accessories, all of the owner/architects’ personal design, conceived in the home’s adjacent 2-story state of the art custom studio/workshop.

TESTIMONIAL
We asked several colleagues who they’d recommend for a quality builder in Santa Fe, one who’d help us deliver a LEED Platinum home project. All pointed us toward Prull Custom Builders, and our high expectations were met, on a challenging project with many unique features.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
We were thrilled to have Prull build our house. Ours was a challenging lot and design, but Prull was able to solve problems and create a house that is a joy to live in. It’s been in several magazines and books since, which is really fun.
