Casa de Lavanda has the perfect combination of types of storage and capacity to make this combination Kitchen - Pantry  an epicureans's cooking and entertaining dream! There's even seating at the center island for six!

Massive Douglas Fir beams strategically placed and elegantly stained, each one selected for strength and artistic scale, feature textures ranging from hand adzing, to scorping, to rough sawn ruggedness.

Our special blend of color and types of plaster and troweling technique combine to create a soft "suede-like" appearance and yet, is burnished to a hard glass-like feel. Truly one-of-a-kind.

True wide-plank white oak: 10.25 inches wide, scraped, aged, and then dyed an attractive and dramatic blend of tones, is scribed to the walls with no baseboards leaving a jaw-dropping perfection in every room.

Our privately owned 4.5 KW power plant in the high-desert sun contributes mightily to the overall rating.

Double-paned, solid wood inside, and baked-in colored aluminum on the outside make this state-of-the-art technology in classic Santa Fe style, a major piece of the tightly sealed home.

Every appliance is Energy Star Certified and every water fixture is Low Flow Water Sense Certified. The exceptions are the two tub fillers, which are not required to be low flow fixtures.

The 6" slab is at thermal mass and the constant temperature of 68 degrees maintains a comfortable interior. The zones can be changed as you wish.

There are also rooftop heating and cooling units zoned for efficiency and personal comfort control.

The energy rating is the result of a commitment by Baker-Folse to achieve a state-of-the-art living environment with the addition of thoughtful engineering and a tightly sealed building envelope.
