Plans & Photos

 

I get many requests to see my designs, so, here are a few.
If you see something you like, just ask about it.

Most plans can be modified for different construction materials.

LX&R Design can help you make your dream home a reality !

Now, let's see some plans...


Solar greenhouse and porch additions to my own home in La Mesilla, N.M. - circa 1986.

Bright and warm in Winter, a great place for plants - see the palm tree ?







Designed in 1993 for La Madera, N.M., this flat-roof adobe features a covered formal entrance and an enclosed courtyard.







Modernizing an older adobe home in Cuba, New Mexico.
The additions (outlined in red) include a new master bedroom with attached bath and walk-in closet.
The dining area and step-down living room were also added as well as the hall to gain access to the bedrooms.







New roof design in Chamita, N.M. for Habitat For
Humanity. I am a founding member of this chapter.

This Adobe home was designed for Silver City N.M..
In excess of 4,000 square feet, it features a solar
green house, a private guest wing and a central courtyard.







This Strawbale artist compound was designed for
Madrid, N.M.. In excess of 6,000 sq. ft., it includes seven residences. There are communal living areas and studio work spaces inside and out. North facing clerestory windows allow indirect light for painting.













This ~4,000 sq. ft. Strawbale home was recently
completed near Abiquiu, N.M.. A beautiful and
spacious home, it features a 12 ft. high aviary for the owners exotic birds !

Solar 1
New Mexico Passive Solar Design Contest winner (most solar efficient entry). This Passive Solar Adobe design features a clerestory roof and sleeping loft.

Note that the overhangs block the Summer sun
while allowing it in during colder Winter months.







Clerestory design 6.2 - Conceptual
features an attached garage and shop.










Conceptual Casita and tripple-car garage combination.
This would make a great starter home if you plan to
build a hacienda later. You can live in the casita and
use the garage as a shop. Later the casita can be used
as a guest house.






The 'Cliff House' project designed for
The Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort.
