King Engineering has provided structural engineering services to passive solar and SIP home design specialist Sunlight Homes including this beautiful contemporary version of a Southwestern home with clerestory windows in the living room that bring in east and south light and winter warmth. Vigas (round timbers) adorn the ceilings and tile floors with Indian rugs decorate the floors. Kiva fireplaces with a contemporary twist add Pattern Language charm, and the whole home is set off with custom-made, Southwestern furniture. Located only minutes from many ancient Native American ruins in central New Mexico, the Southwestern adobe design of the Deerman residence fits with the local pueblo architecture and also hints of Spanish influence with the tile roof accents.
