Saddleback Ranch
Joe D'Urso Design
Morrow Bowden Architects
This contemporary residence sits
within a 4,000 acre ranch
between
two New Mexican
villages. The
landscape is
bold and barren, in
the broad
plains at the bottom of
the
Rocky Mountain range. The
great grasses and windy site
call
for design solutions with
references
to American Plains
architecture.
Walls provide
wind breaks, privacy
and
define domesticated landscape
separate from the wild terrain

beyond. Interior planes provide

quiet, contemplative spaces.
