Santa Fe Architecture

Downtown Santa Fe doesn't look like any other American city. Parts of it are really old--it will celebrate its 400th anniversary next year. The buildings are low and earth-colored. Adobe is the dominating building material.

Set those unique buildings against the gorgeous, clear blue sky, and place them on tiny, meandering streets and you have it--the Santa Fe style--a style unlike any other.

  3. Folks say you'll love it or you'll hate it. I've met both....but I'm in the former camp. :)

    Santa Fe/New Mexico style of architecture is so earthy and natural feeling. Instead of fighting to stand out, the homes try hard to blend in. I like that a lot. :)
