Santa Fe, NM Remodelers Showcase 2026

 

For the 2026 showcase, Zachary & Sons Homes proudly presents an award-winning historic renovation—recognized with the 2026 Award for Excellence in Remodeling. This remarkable project demonstrates the artistry and technical precision required to restore and elevate one of Santa Fe’s architectural treasures.

A Historic Home Reimagined Near Museum Hill

Located near Museum Hill in Santa Fe, this historic residence was originally designed by legendary Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem, widely regarded as one of the most influential architects responsible for shaping the Pueblo Revival architectural style that defines the region.

The project involved a complete full-gut remodel, carefully rebuilding the home from the inside out while preserving the spirit and architectural integrity of Meem’s original design.

Zachary & Sons Homes approached the renovation with a deep respect for Santa Fe’s architectural heritage, ensuring the finished home felt both authentic and renewed.

Collaborative Design Excellence

A remodel of this scale and importance requires a carefully assembled team of experts. The project was a collaboration between some of Santa Fe’s most talented design and construction professionals.

The team included:

    • Zachary & Sons Homes — Remodeling Contractor

    • Richard Martinez Architecture — Architectural Design

    • Neu Bleu Interiors — Interior Design

    • Erica Burke — Lead Interior Designer

Together, the team focused on creating a home that blends historic authenticity with modern refinement while allowing the architecture, materials, and craftsmanship to speak for themselves.

Craftsmanship and Material Authenticity

A defining goal of the remodel was to maintain the tactile richness that Santa Fe homes are known for. Each material and detail was chosen with intention to preserve the cultural and architectural identity of the home.

Key design and craftsmanship elements include:

    • Custom cabinetry by Ernest Thompson Cabinets

    • Traditional Saltillo tile flooring

    • Hand-applied diamond plaster walls

    • Thoughtful integration of natural textures and architectural forms

These elements create a layered interior experience—warm, inviting, and deeply rooted in the artistic traditions of Santa Fe. Learn more about Zachary and Sons’ remodeling services in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Honoring Santa Fe Architectural Heritage

John Gaw Meem’s architecture helped define the Santa Fe aesthetic. His work emphasized regional materials, hand-crafted details, and forms inspired by traditional Pueblo and Spanish Colonial architecture.

When remodeling a home designed by Meem, every decision must balance preservation and progress.

In this project, Zachary & Sons Homes ensured that:

    • Original architectural character was respected

    • Materials reflected Santa Fe’s building traditions

    • Modern construction techniques improved performance and longevity

    • Interior spaces maintained a cohesive visual flow

The result is a home that feels timeless—true to its origins while built to endure for generations.
