    Residence and studio at Gallina

    Canyon, New Mexico, USA

    The two-storey residence, built of sun-dried,


    unstabilised and locally made adobes, pro-
    vides spectacular views from its terraces
    and roof top of the Gallina Canyon in the
    Sangre De Christo Mountains, north of Taos,
    New Mexico. It displays several features of
    environment-conscious design, such as pas-
    sive solar heating through a combination of
    direct solar gain with a thermal chimney,
    which distributes warm air to the cooler
    rooms on the north side of the house. Elec-
    tricity is backed up by a photovoltaic sys-
    tem, and water from the roofs is harvested
    for gardening purposes. Interior surfaces

    show on-site mud plaster finishes, flagstone


    floors and recycled oak beams.
