Steve Thomas, a longtime host of PBSs legendary This Old House, purchased the original early-

20th-century home nestled on this picturesque Eastside hilltop and undertook a loving, painstakinrenovation, working closely with architect Stephen Samuelson. The result is a sophisticated one-

bedroom home of serenely minimal stylishness. Exacting attention to detail and an insistence on c

organic lines are readily apparent. The space feels large, open, and gratifying thanks to the thought

editing and numerous windows that bring the outdoors in. Natural light illuminates every space at

every time of day. All windows, doors, appliances, and fixt

are new, contributing to the homes unique blend of mode

precision and classic charm.

By Paul Weideman

The house that won the Grand Hacienda Award in this years Haciendas A Parade

of Homes isnt the usual large, expensive place boasting fabulous views of multiple,

distant moutain ranges. Instead, its a 3,000-square-foot, $538,000 abode nestled in

on a Cordova Road site thats almost invisible from the busy thoroughfare. is is as inll

as it gets, said Jesse Gries, principal of Green Star Builders, who built the house for his

family. ere was a dilapidated half of a basketball court here, and a gazebo with a little

redwood deck; we used the redwood for base plates for all of our walls.

Gries has been in Santa Fe for 15 years and his wife, Karla Helland, is a 20-year resident.

ey included some Santa Fe style elements: 200-year-old sabino beams and a simple

house design with so, rounded corners. But aer that its all clean, contemporary design

boasting cabinetry by his father and metalwork by Gries himself: terric railings and stairs,

an entrance shade structure, canale pipes and cistern covers, and large, sculptural frame

elements in the rear patio.

eres also a healthy hydroponic green wall at the top of the stairway to the lower level.

Its growing very well, he said. Its a hobby but it also puts out a lot of oxygen into the

house. e downstairs, basical ly basement, rooms are brightened by light wells with ivy

growing on the outside surface.

In all the design details, Karla and I were really just satisfying ourselves, our specic

tastes, Gries said.

e challenge for HVL Interiors, which the owners brought in to stage their house for

the Parade of Homes, was to make it shine, as Steany Hollingsworth put it. Heather Van

Luchene added, Its not to upstage the house but really to put just enough furnishings in

to make it read well. We wanted to connect with the handcraed quality of Jesses steelwork

and the cabinets by his father, so the rugs and some of the chairs are hand-made.

Also to let people imagine what they might be able do with a house like that, and to

dream: oh, I would love to live in this kind of c ontext, this kind of lifestlyle, Hollingsworth

said. Because the house is so simple and light, we didnt want to do things that detracted

from that. e furnishings and the art and the rugs that we selected all really blend so

nicely with the kind of organic elements and the very so greiges and tones that we used.

e Parade was a success for the builder. I think we had 700 people on the rst day,

Gries said. It seems like we had a good response; I have a meeting this week with someone

who may b e interested in a project.

It was his rst Haciendas experience. For Christopher Wheeler, Wheeler Construction

& Design, 2012 was his third Parade. I think the foot trac was excellent. Last year we

were right in town and so it was very easy to get to, but I think we had at least that many,

Wheeler said.

As in the Green Star entry, Wheeler and his wife, Yuki, who was the designer of their

Parade entry on Calle San Acacia (o Tano Road), did the house for themselves. e two

things that come to mind about that are the home oces, which are separate from thehome, and that has to do with having the kids at home so it gives us a little separation. And

also the jack-and-jill bathrooms in the kids bedroom area. If that was for a client, most

likely those would have been bedrooms with their own private baths.

e contemporary house is about a thousand square feet smaller than the house he built

for the family in 2006. at was intentional.

It works much better for us, he said. Small is the new better. e oor plan is more

compact and the bedrooms are closer together, which makes for a more pleasant family life

and probably will be better for heating in the winter.

e Wheeler home won the Grand Hacienda Runner-Up. I heard that the jud

split 5-4, which makes us feel good. I was very excited to see Green Star win. Our

argument for years was how c an you give the Grand Hacienda to anything thats

most expensive, biggest house in the Parade, and this year they didnt just think o

box, they shattered the box.

Speaking of awards, Palo Santo Designs won a whopping eight prizes for its tw

on the tour. Among them were the Grand Green awards in both categories: for h

under 2,000 square feet and for homes over 2,000 square feet.

e former, located on Cresta Pequea near Caoncito, is a fairly modest hom

square feet and valued at $350,000 but with solid, earthy features including Am

clay wall nishes and an unnished adobe interior wall both for separation and th

mass. e LEED Platinum home on Southern Crescent west of Lamy is 2,700 hea

feet and priced at $1 million. Cresta Pequea has high-performance frame constr

and 2 Southern Crescent is a combination of pumice-crete and high-performanc

state-of-the-art green home, near zero-energy, which means its 84 percent more

than a code-built home.

Features there include passive-solar design, a high-eciency heating system, a

groundbreaking thin-lm photovoltaic technology that is virtually invisible archi

Palo Santo also won a special award for best bathroom. at was I think in pa

of some unique choices by the owner, who went for a vintage, art-deco look with

tile and plumbing xtures, and a freestanding clawfoot tub that has a window lev

tegory. One on Aspen View, in Monte Sereno, is traditional and stately with tall stone

lumn supports outside and a traditional, open plan all on one level. e other Prull

use, on Lodge Trail up behind Bishops Lodge, is a neat combination of angles and

rves. Will Prull worked with architect Craig Hoopes and interior designer Lisa Samuels

both projects.

e Lodge Trail house is accessed through a wonderfully landscaped courtyard. We

d a lot of comments on the wall-plastering job, the cabinets, and on the t of the

ushed-marble oor tile, which is set in a four-piece Leon pattern, Prull said. All three

eplaces are noteworthy; theyre Ortal brand, made in Israel.

He said the houses saw more than 200 visitors on the busier days.

e important thing for me is that the people who came this year, besides the locals

d people shopping for ideas, are planning to build soon, where last year they were just

ying they wanted to build some day. ere are real jobs coming out of the Parade of

omes.

Kim Shanahan, executive director of the sponsoring Santa Fe Area Home Builders Asso-

tion, said the organization sold more tickets than in 2011. e home-tourists this time

w un unprecedented variety. Just two or three years ago, a large percentage of the Parade

uses were in the Las Campanas areas. is year, there were just two.

Also, the fact that we dont have spec homes these days means people arent having tosafe in order to appeal to many potential buyers, Shanahan said. Its more a matter of

e owners doing what they want.

I was encourged that we had four entrants who Im calling the next generation that

eds to be running this asso ciation in the future.

He was talking ab out Jesse Gries, Mark Giorgetti, Chris Wheeler, and Shane and Rob

oods of Woods Design Builders. ey really represent people in their 30s and early 40s

OutandAbout

Mourning (and happy about) the

passing of Olympic Games coverageDarlings,I dont know about you, but Im in a mild

depression over the cessation of the Olym-

pics on the telly. For those couple of weeks

in July and August, it was so refreshing to

turn on the TV any time, day or night, and

watch any type of sport besides politics.

Cupcakes, do I have to wait until Rio and

the next Olympics/election year to watch

Usain Bolt strike his lightning bolt pose?

Heres a question for you: what do Mr. Bolt

(an athlete) and Mitt Romney(a politi-

cian) have in common? Like Mitt Romney,

Usain Bolt would like to pay only 13 percent

income tax. Well, me, too, so I guess we all

three have something in common.

When it comes to money and politics,

I was alarmed when I read that an esti-

mated $6 billion will be spent on this years

presidential election. Alarmed, that is, until

I learned that Americans spent $10.7 trillion

on shopping last year. Some examples: $16

billion on chocolate; $11 billion on coee;

$10 billion on romance novels; and $50.96

billion on the pet industry ($310 million on

pet halloween costumes alone). Personally,

Kittens, I think those are just a few of the

things that are worth every penny.

Scout and Jim Gay(Jims a broker/

owner at Home Buyers Mortgage Co.) arebig contributors to the billion-dollar pet

industry, and when you look at the photos

of their dogs living quarters, youll see

what I mean. eir attached doghouse

is replete with a monogrammed shower, a

comfy daybed, and a kitchen equipped with

fridge and microwave. As we know, Dear

Hearts, our precious little Santa Fe is already

world-renowned for style, and now Scout

and Jim have put it at the forefront of Dog

Living. (Dear God, when I die, please let me

come back as a Gay Dog you know what

I mean.)

If youre looking for style for yourself

(forget about the dogs for a moment), and

you want to add a few thousand dollars to

the local economy, go to the latest most

stylish place in town Jane Smiths Old

and New Home store and choose

something that your dog could be proud of

when you invite his friends over for a drink

(out of the toilet in your freshly renovated

guest bath). Jane has traveled to Paris, to

New York, and even to Round Top, Texas,

to bring you treasures, old and new, for

your entire home. She has a great eye for the

stylish and unique, a combination that is

sure to make you happy to contribute to that

$10.7 trillion shopping spree. Babies, did

I mention $96 billion on beer, $65 billion

on so drinks, $2.3 billion on tattoos (then

$66 million to remove them), AND $800

million on Girl Scout cookies? ere, that

puts it in p erspective. No matter how much

you spend at Janes store on furniture and

accessories, my Darling Shoppers, its not

too much.

Candy Brenton (marketing director,

Santa Fe Properties) decided to take a break

from consumerism, so she le town over

Indian Market weekend and retreated to the

mountains of New Mexico for a couple of

weeks, even hiking Wheeler Peak. Possums,wont she be surprised when she returns and

nds out that I knew something before she

did?

While Candy was gone, Heidi Helm (for-

merly Sothebys) added her name to a long

list of Realtors who have recently joined

Santa Fe Properties. Heidis husband, Chris

McLarry, has his gallery, McLarry Fine Art,

at 225 Canyon Road and their house is on

Garcia Street, so Heidis new oce loca-

tion at 1000 Paseo makes a perfect

Prevention, the Best Cure | Ed Crocker

Regardless of the stuff your house is made of, moistureis its biggest enemy. It is not just adobe that fails when saturated;

wood rots, the mortar between bricks deteriorates, and moisture creeping throughRastra or strawbale will strip plaster and paint off interior surfaces in very short order.

Among the joys of home ownership is constant vigilance with a trained eye to catchthe insidious invader, water, before it has done damage. Coupled with the eagle eyeare some simple measures you can take proactively to minimize your exposure. First,be sure the ground around your house slopes away from the walls, not toward them.Next, keep any plantings (except the ones you want to kill) at least three feet from the

wall. The corollary is to only use xeric plants in that zone. Be sure that your canales ordownspouts discharge well away from walls and that the water they produce isconducted post-haste away from your house.

Watch, particularly, for signs of moisture invasion and retention on north walls. Theyare usually the most vulnerable because they dry more slowly. Look for white deposits

on the exterior plaster, or cracking and spalling that seems abnormal. And don't thinkthat an elastomeric stucco is going to keep you safe. Those finishes are every bit asprone to cracking and leaking as the old dependable cement.

In the care and maintenance of a home, as with anything else, Murphy rules. Despiteyour loving stewardship a plumbing line will break, the acequia will overflow, or theDepartment of Transportation will cut a bar-ditch through your front door.

When that happens, call us.

Real-estate investors who have been

waiting for the ultimate bottom in the

housing market to nally make a homepurchase may nd that the bottom is here.

e same holds true if you are seeking

the lowest rate to renance your primary,

second and investment properties. Your

time may be here.

In the real estate and mortgage world,

we commonly hear of the West to East

phenomenon: what happens rst on the

West Coast travels to the East. is theory

is supported by the spread of the housing-

market decline. It began in California in

2006/2007 and moved eastward in the

following years. e same signs we saw on

the West Coast were repeated across the

country: foreclosures rose as subprime,interest-only, low teaser rates and ARMS

trended upward and housing prices fell.

So is the reverse true? Is California lead-

ing the way to a housing market recovery?

Our good friend Marilyn Sanderson

(formerly of Town and Ranch/Prudential

Santa Fe, now with One Mission Realty

in San Diego) says Its ocial now - its

denitely a sellers market in San Di-ego. e last three months have seen a

rapidly shrinking market and rising prices

compared to last summer. e number

of houses for sale is down 53 percent and

the result is multiple oers above the list

price. California is coming back and the

rest of the country seems to be following.
