A collaborative process led to the design of Siler Yard apartments, which is built on land the City of Santa Fe donated. Architects, planners, and developers engaged with a large and diverse group of creative professionals to craft design principles, refine the building and site program, and evaluate the design as it developed.

The eight residential buildings are either two or three stories and contain a range of bedroom configurations. The two- and three-bedroom units are all two stories tall and are typically situated above one-bedroom units. Buildings have both corrugated metal siding and sloped roofs, which are harmonious with the neighborhood’s industrial aesthetic, and stucco and flat roofs, which are more typical of Santa Fe. Designers envision the stucco surfaces, particularly the end walls, as blank canvases on which creative residents can showcase their work.

Units are designed to enable live/work functionality. Bedrooms and bathrooms are nestled in more private zones, while kitchens are left open within the living/studio space.
