Mischke Residence

The Mischke residence in Los Alamos, New Mexico represents further development of the energy management/conservation schemes seen in earlier work. The bright New Mexico sun dictated sunscreens on the southern exposure and the cold winds from the other direction, careful placement of openings on the north. The structure, white and sculptural against the clear blue sky, stands at the edge of a deep arroyo. Views from the living and diningroom range from the Jemez mountains on the west to Santa Fe to the south, to near Taos and the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the north. A variety of spaces is provided within...2 story livingroom, and a courtyard oriented diningroom and recreation space.
