Build Magazine | Santa Fe, New Mexico

Nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in north central New Mexico, lies the state capital of Santa Fe. With a population of about 85,000, the city has a distinctive small-town vibe and an international reputation for arts and architecture. Santa Fe is unique in that there is no other city in the USA that embraces the adobe brick as a building material. The bricks are made of straw and sun-dried earth. The earth tone, low rise homes and businesses come in many styles that include Pueblo or Spanish Pueblo style, Territorial style, Italianate, Victorian and more. Come and see why the architectural styles and rich cultural heritage make Santa Fe an irresistible place to call home since 1610.
