Sheltered Serenity in the Galisteo Basin (Santa Fe, NM)

The Bunkowski’s carefully selected Prull and Hoopes to bring to life their dream of new-age New Mexico living because of their instant connection to the project. This timeless home took nine months to design and over a year of active construction to finish. In the end, the couple had a masterfully crafted estate, “it is a calm space, which blends in perfectly with the surrounding landscape thanks to the deliberate design and clean workmanship,” says Jodi Vevoda, Co-Owner, Prull Custom Builders.

Built around an interior courtyard that helps fend off the Santa Fe wind, the residence features abundant natural light, expansive basin views, and a layout balanced that Ken, Karen, and their guests have the freedom to choose the comfort of privacy one minute and camaraderie the next. The entire house is modulated around a three-sided fireplace, and a spacious kitchen harmoniously connects to the living and dining rooms. Like many area homes, the two primary suite wings are location on either side of the house for optimal seclusion.
