Adobe Home Builders
Advantages of Modern Techniques
Speed of Construction: Modern materials and methods allow for faster building, reducing labor costs and construction time.
Reduced Maintenance: Modern materials are generally more durable and require less maintenance than traditional adobe.
Energy Efficiency: Modern buildings can be equipped with the latest insulation materials, high-efficiency windows, and other technologies that enhance energy efficiency without compromising the architectural style.
Enhanced Comfort: Incorporating modern amenities such as air conditioning, advanced wiring for electronics, and high-performance windows ensures comfort and convenience. These features can be designed to maintain the historical appearance while providing all the benefits of contemporary living.
In summary, while traditional adobe offers undeniable charm and environmental benefits, modern construction techniques provide practical advantages in terms of construction speed, maintenance, and energy efficiency. For those who love the adobe style but want the conveniences of modern architecture, blending both approaches can offer the best of both worlds.
Historic Adobe Home Building Renovation
Currently, Zachary and Sons have a renovated vacation rental on a historic property on Delgado Street near the heart of Downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico just off Canyon Road. It’s a 1920s home, where we’re actually gutting the home all the way down, stripping it all the way to its adobe. So it’s an amazing experience to see this adobe that was constructed a hundred years ago and still standing. View this home by clicking here.
