A year of rebuilding. That was the predominate theme of 2013. It was the most “normal” year our market has experienced since 2007. Unlike many of the real estate markets around the US that had spectacular recoveries, Santa Fe quietly and pretty steadily gained footing as the year progressed. We didn’t experience the dramatic appreciation that quite a few other markets did, but we saw the multiyear decline in local values cease and we saw stabilization and same value increases. We also saw another very important sign of strength. Many very appealing properties were brought to the market, with accurate and thoughtful asking prices, and many of them went under contract within a matter of weeks. And in quite a few cases, even in days. We witnessed multiple offers and we saw properties selling above their asking prices. Results only seen when a market has some fundamentally solid underlying strength. Strength we hadn’t seen in quite a few years. Buyers always seemed to be present and ready to jump when a well-priced and compelling property hit the market. The 16 day Federal government shutdown hit us hard. Not only in Santa Fe, but it significantly hampered many markets across the country. We then saw our local market regain traction and end the year with an impressive number of sales in the $1,000,000+ market segment. The segment of the market that had previously been struggling. Within the Neil Lyon Group, we continued to evolve and grow our business. We had the good fortune to have Michaelene Sargent join our team in June. Bringing with her a long history in Santa Fe and many years of highly relevant experience while working with a top local title company, Mikey added to our capacity immediately. We also developed a new and very comprehensive tool to assist buyers who are coming to Santa Fe from outside of the area. This Buyers Guide has proven to provide valuable guidance to those unfamiliar with much of what is unique to our small city. A city that is appropriately called the City Different. We also embarked on a project to video our listed homes, adding this valuable tool to the many websites we use to expose our listed property around the globe. This is a project that will take another 4-6 months to complete, but the response to the videos we have had produced thus far has been very gratifying. We are grateful for completing a year that was again very productive. Selling properties priced between $2,800,000 and down to $99,000, we took unusual pride in getting it done for each and every one of our clients, both sellers and buyers. We sold some properties in a matter of days and others took more years than we like to admit. In the extremes, we were thrilled in all cases. As we jump into 2014, we are thankful to the many clients who have contributed to our recent successes, yet we remain excited for the business yet to be completed for our clients who are relying upon us in the months ahead.

IS YOUR HOUSE SINKING ? TWO PARADOXES OF SETTLEMENT
MONUMENTS
Failed footings and massive movement are often associated with water from broken utility lines, drip irrigation systems or rainfall. During the current drought it has been different: The extraordinarily dry weather has resulted in the desiccation of soils that, as they shrink, place stress on the loads imposed on them.

As counter-intuitive as settlement caused by the absence of moisture seems, there is another seeming paradox emerging from the pattern of failures we are observing: It is newer houses that are failing far more frequently than older ones. Our largest underpinning jobs on existing adobe homes have been for houses that are less than 15 years old. Huge remediation expenses leave new homeowners feeling legitimately cheated. You may reasonably ask how this can be, given that building standards and codes are more stringent now than they were 50 or even 20 years ago. Here is part of the answer: An older adobe tends to be characterized by a single story, few and typically small window and door openings, and a low roofline. The tendency now is to increase the height and build sensuously thick walls broken by lots of large openings. Modestly sized vigas have given way to massive, whole trees. Concrete has replaced wood as a bond beam. In short, houses are heavier and more brittle now. If you love your new house even though it is betraying you, or if you want to build a new home, we can help keep it honest with helical piers or micropiles. ~Ed Crocker HOME

Why not thank a plant today? It’s January, time to send those once bedecked, lush garlands and wreaths into the compost pile while we sweep up the last of the pine needles. For many, this can be a depressing time of year, but there is a little-known holiday this month that may be a welcome change to take those “winter blahs” and make them “winter ahhs.” “National Thank You Month,” celebrated each January, is a holiday for giving thanks to all things and people in our lives. It can run the gamut, from being grateful for Christmas presents to the guy who gave you his parking spot. It doesn’t matter who or what you thank as long as you are engaged in the state of appreciation. While you compile your list, you may want to add something green to it: your house plants. House plants? It may seem strange, but houseplants play very important roles in our lives. Aside from providing beauty to living spaces, these plants also provide oxygen. As we breathe, our body takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon
dioxide and release oxygen. Plants also release water, which helps with respiratory processes, infections and dry skin. While moisture vapor gets released, humidity rises, which is good in dry climates like ours. Up to 97 percent of the water plants take in gets released back into the atmosphere, and the more plants, the higher the humidity. Plants also can lower stress and improve your health. Researchers at Kansas State University compared recovery rates of surgical patients in hospital rooms with plants to those in rooms without plants. The patients with plants requested less pain medication, had lower heart rates and blood pressure, and experienced less anxiety. Lastly and most importantly, plants purify air and remove toxins. A study by NASA scientists last year found several types of common houseplants to be useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while cleaning indoor air. People who live in environments with improper ventila-
tion or heating units are susceptible to carbon monoxide. That’s where common houseplants can turn from pretty room accents into superheroes, absorbing dangerous fumes that can protect you. The top 10 plants rated by NASA for purifying air quality are bamboo palm (Chamaedorea seifritzii), Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema modestum), English ivy (Hedera helix), Gerbera daisy (Gerbera jamesonii), “Janet Craig” dracaena (Marginata dracaena), corn plant (Dracaena massangeana), snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata), potted mum (Chrysantheium morifolium), peace lily (Spathiphyllum ‘Mauna Loa’), and Warneckii dracaena. Other plants that are also helpful include Boston fern (Nephrolepsis exaltata bostoniensis), spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), and aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis). There are many other plants that are beneficial but those listed above are the best-rated for providing oxygen and
C A R O LE LA N G R A LL
moisture and removing toxins. So before you go into hibernation this month, make sure you thank a plant. You never know, it may even save your life.

TitleNews
Locally owned and locally operated A few months ago an article was written for the Santa Fe Real Estate Guide about local banks and their willingness to work with us locally. The recognition for better service was awarded to the local banks rather than the out-of-state and national lenders. A lot can be said about local business and local service. The hometown lenders are much more sympathetic and understanding of New Mexico laws and recognize the New Mexico way of doing business. The title business is much the same way. When you dig deeper you find the local title companies use New Mexicans to produce results. The local companies have a tremendous capital investment in the companies they own. First, New Mexico law requires a minimum of 20 years of public records, arranged geographically, in the title company’s plant. Deeds, mortgages, probates, releases, bankruptcy, and any other instruments 18

that affect real property go into the plant. To build a plant, the office has to purchase copies of instruments from the County Clerk’s office and must transcribe them into an automated index system that sorts every instrument in geographical order. All titles are searched based on geography. To contract a resource to transcribe the records requires extreme costs. There is also the cost of verification; a 10 percent error in a title plant is not acceptable. Recently I was called on to appraise 13 locally owned title plants in New Mexico. The appraisal is based on replacement costs. If a catastrophic event occurred and all was lost, what would it cost to replace the title plant? All of the plants I reviewed begin from land grants or statehood (1912) and go forward. Copies would have to be purchased, and transcriptions would have to happen all over again. There are companies in New Mexico that have staff attorneys who are real-
estate knowledgeable and offer quicker response than those with no staff attorneys. Many times transactions are held up because decisions are being made elsewhere. Waiting for an answer is stressful to all. Last month I wrote about the Land Title Trust Fund and the endowments made by the land-title industry. Many of the local title companies participate in the fund to benefit higher education in New Mexico. All title companies have escrow accounts. The local companies’ escrow accounts and operating accounts are deposited in New Mexico banks. Other companies use banks and accounting services outside of the state. Some even use offshore services to maintain their title plants. A title commitment can actually be produced in countries such as India and the Philippines. That means less New Mexicans employed. Locally owned and operated title companies have made tremendous invest-

PROFILE Victoria Murphy
This interview series focuses on the people in Santa Fe’s real-estate industry. Victoria Murphy, a broker with Santa Fe Properties, was interviewed in December, a couple of weeks before her term as the 2013 president of the Santa Fe Association of Realtors expired.
What does being president involve? You represent the association. You are the voice for the membership and the association. Besides the quarterly media breakfast this year we were also asked to do a television show with Diane Kinderwater, and there were a lot of radio interviews. I’m also northeast district vice president for the Realtor Association of New Mexico. You were saying before we sat down that you have a deal that’s on the line? It’s a historic Eastside neighborhood and we found out on the boundary survey that it doesn’t match the legal lot of record that the county has on file. It’s going to mean talking to a lot of neighbors. We have paperwork going back to the late 1800s and it just somehow got in the books incorrectly. Have you seen this before? How long have you been a Realtor? No. I’ve been in this business for eight years. I came in at the height and got to go through the crash. We started this profile series in 2000 to give readers a better idea of who Realtors are and what they do. People think we get a full commission and we make tons of money and we don’t give back to the community, which is all incorrect. We just gave $7,000 to Dollars for Schools and that will be targeted to three southside schools, and we recently donated to Our Charity Begins at Home, which is a program we started with a grant from the National Association of Realtors. We run it with Homewise to help people in the nonprofit sector with downpayment assistance for buying homes. You mentioned before that you have British roots? My father, Richard Halford, was first-generation English. He was an architect. He designed many of the commercial buildings downtown, including the parking garage across from the Lensic, the La Esquina Building, and the building cattycorner, where Design Warehouse is, which used to be a stationery store. My father’s father settled in Iowa. Growing up I spent every summer in Clear Lake, Iowa, but I was born in Alameda, California, and I grew up here in Santa Fe. The
12 designers in Denver and Dallas. I got out of that when I went to manage for Jane Smith on Canyon Road. She bought 10 out of my 12 designers for her store. Then when she got out of retail, I was asked by the Kehoes and John and Anne Marion to be one of their buyers for Cookworks. So I started traveling Europe buying kitchen equipment. That’s a pretty exciting career path. Then I was director of retail operations at Nambé Mills until they made some significant changes in their hierarchy. That’s when my father, who also had La Mancha Realty, convinced me that it was time I worked for myself. He had been trying to get me to do this for years. I tell people that’s when I finally grew up and listened to my dad. I started off with Prudential Santa Fe, because Fulton Murray was one of the Cookworks owners and he made me a great offer.

Darlings, Today is my birthday, as it is Sharon MacDonald’s (Santa Fe Properties), as well as several other people, of course, but Sharon and I are the ones who immediately come to mind — my mind, that is. I am working on becoming more like Shorty Sargent (Who am I kidding? Nobody can do that.) so when someone asks me how old I am, I say (just like Shorty said) “Honey, that’s an unlisted number.” A birthday brings to mind presents, which brings to mind Christmas, and since that holiday is still fresh in our memories, I’m thinking you might enjoy knowing what some people got. First of all, Love Bugs, I won’t talk about the sexy items Wally Sargent (SF Props) got for his wife, Louanne, from Victoria’s Secret, but I will share with you what he gave himself. It was an early Christmas present, but when he found it, he and Louanne immediately hopped on a plane to New Hampshire, where he picked up his new toy, a red Porsche Panamera 4S. Sleek! Surprisingly, Gumdrops, I think he got only one speeding ticket on his way home, which was shocking to me given the distance between N.H. and N.M. and the raw power of his Panamera. Jonnalyn Grover (Coldwell Banker Trails West) gave herself an intangible gift of time. After being the qualifying broker at CBTW for the past five years, she decided to step down from that role in order to trade that time for time with her family. That’s a wonderful gift Realtors often forget to give themselves, by the way. But Jonnalyn has always been a smart cookie, so after 20 years
Tom Yoder, a big man with a giant heart
of superior service to her clients as well as the real estate community, she’s stepping out of the spotlight for a while. We’ll see her again, I’m sure, because after all, Butter Beans, real estate is in her blood. Like father (John Grover) like daughter, you know. Uh-oh, so now what happens at Coldwell Banker Trails West, you’re wondering. Never fear, Pumpkins, Patrick Thomas is near. Yes, Patrick is the Christmas present the company’s owners gave their agents this year. As the new QB, Patrick has now come full circle. Ditching his old career as a family therapist in Dallas, Patrick arrived in Santa Fe with his family and a new real estate license in 1995, and he immediately went to work at Coldwell Banker. In 2000, he took a chance on being managing broker at a thenbrand-new development called Rancho Viejo, and that’s where Patrick has been making his fortune until now. Yes, Dear Hearts, it can never be said that Patrick is afraid of taking chances… and so far it can never be said that his chances haven’t paid off. Marilyn Foss (Santa Fe Properties) wanted to give herself a meerkat that she tamed in Botswana while on her African Safari with Patty Smith (Sotheby’s), but she realized how harsh that would be to take this cute little creature out of the wilds into a civilized environment with no tunnels to dig and no other kool kats to hang with. So she looked around for something else wild but inanimate, and now she has her eye on an eagle feather silk scarf designed by Taos Pueblo clothing designer Patricia Michaels. Marilyn discovered these wildly beautiful creations when she, Sandra Claymore (First Mortgage Company) and Paige Bradley (Fidelity National Title) hosted an open house/ trunk show at a quite spectacular listing of Marilyn’s on Encantado Drive. Patricia herself was there (Kittens, you recall she was the runner up in Season 11 of Heidi Klum’s “Project Runway”) with four beautiful young women modeling her designs (obviously more than just eagle feather scarves).
O A K LEY TAL B O T T
Lemon Drops, one more example of the many perks of being a Realtor in Santa Fe: you get to see great houses and meet talented people, all in one location. Gregg Antonsen (managing broker at Sotheby’s Santa Fe) thought he was keeping it simple with a little trip to Scottsdale to see close friends Bob (Sommer/Udall/Sutin Law Firm) & Judy Worcester. But they surprised him with tickets to see Andrea Bocelli and the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. What a Christmas present. (I think Gregg is kind of spoiled, Cupcakes, but he denies it.) Dearest Readers, I hate ending on a somber note, but I can’t close today until I pay homage to a wonderful friend who left this world much too early. Tom Yoder (owner, Yoder Home Corp.) died suddenly on Nov. 17 at the young age of 64. Tom and his wife Stephanie (Sotheby’s) moved here in 1983. Tom was a talented builder, but more than that, for all those who knew him, Tom was an extraordinary man. Not only did he have an MBA from the Indiana U School of Business, he also had undergraduate degrees in creative writing and philosophy. He was a poet and philosopher with a wry wit and one of the most interesting men a person could know. He was affectionately known as the “gentle giant” because he was a big man but kind, always kind. He and Stephanie were college sweethearts, and for all these years he was not only her husband and the father of their children, but he was her best friend. Keep Stephanie in your prayers. So long, Sweetpeas Until next time… Oakley Oakley can be reached at merrilypierson@me.com.

Gifford wins top AIA-Albuquerque award for AIDS housing project By Paul Weideman
R
esidents in long-term care with New Mexico AIDS Services have practical but elegant housing in a newly renovated Albuquerque motel. The bright transformation of the decrepit Sleepy Hollow Motor Coach Lodge stimulated the Albuquerque chapter of the American Institute of Architects to present Thomas Gifford with its Honor Award. “This was a classic Route 66 motel,” said Gifford, whose architecture office is on Early Street. “It was 17 units, built in the early 1940s and was slowly added to. There was a gas station once and a swimming pool once and a retirement home for nuns once.” The building had fallen into disrepair when New Mexico AIDS Services purchased it, then after a few years there were significant plumbing problems and it was headed for demolition. The city of Albuquerque and the national Enterprise Foundation contributed to its rebirth. “It started off with a $250,000 budget for renovations but Jessica Molzen, the New Mexico AIDS Services development director, worked her tail off raising a million and a half dollars and it became what it is: 11 units of long-term care that’s very nicely done.” Gifford removed unsightly additions done in the 1960s, endeavoring to save everything from the 1940s. “That includes some very cool old-growth spruce framing. Instead of using sheathing on the sides of the building, they used perfectly milled 1 x 12s. We pulled the old drywall and cellulose insulation out. We built a frame wall inside of the 1 x 12s for more insulation. Also, we used the new walls to support the frames full of solar panels on the roof.” Gifford worked with Pilar Medina Cannizarro at the State Historic Preservation Division, but the two could never figure out who built the motor lodge with those beautifully constructed walls. The architect said the project team wanted to do a “truth window” to show what was in the walls, but that would create a gap in the insulation and may have negatively affected the developers’ bid for LEED Platinum certification. New, energy-efficient windows were modeled after the original double-hung windows, and they replicated the old 21-panel doors. “We spent our money on durabil-

ity and on the net-zero design,” Gifford said. “The roof is completely covered with photovoltaic panels. After a year
of occupation, we’ll see if it’s 100 percent net zero or 90 or 95 percent.” The new Sleepy Hollow Apartments provide a
community building used for supportive services and resident gatherings, in addition to a courtyard with picnic area. “This was the motor court where you drove right up to your room. We wanted community, so we have a courtyard instead of cars in there,” Gifford said. “The residents have small, private garden spaces and we dropped the front doors back off the face of the building and added some color; each little entry spills that soothing blue light into the unit. And pulling the door in gives you a little relief, so you don’t feel like you’re opening your door to the whole community. The complimentary color was a pale shade of orange to enliven the courtyard, then white, because historically it was a white building, but I went with a brighter white than it was.” Thomas Gifford Architect currently is engaged in a 140-unit project — 100 renovations and 40 new units — at five sites for the Santa Fe Civic Housing Authority. “We’re also doing a couple of cool houses in Santa Fe, one using autoclaved aerated concrete walls. And 44 units in affordable housing in Gallup. We’re staying busy.”

Two AIA awards for Krupnick Studio By Paul Weideman
T
he Freeman residence in Corrales, designed by Krupnick Studio, Santa Fe, with the owners, won a pair of Merit Awards from the American Institute of Architects-Santa Fe and from AIA-New Mexico. “The house is very vernacular. It’s not politically correct to call it the barrio, but it’s definitely in the ghetto of Corrales,” Michael Krupnick said. “It’s concrete block and it looks and feels like concrete block and that fits into neighborhood, the corrugated metal, concrete block, and pipe fencing around the property. “I like to be a good neighbor, so we buried it behind a berm and kept it humble. But at the same time the clients wanted an award-winning, fun architectural piece. The neighbors say it looks like a horse barn. It’s exciting that it worked out so well. I’m lucky to have good clients. This was one of the best contractors I ever worked with, an owner-builder, and his wife is a high-powered green consultant.” Attributes of the 3,017-square-foot abode include a 19-foot cantilevered roof to shade the kitchen and dining room, photovoltaic panels, solar hot water, a super-insulated roof, and a trombe wall. “The trouble with the old trombe walls is that you couldn’t clean the glass and it ended up dirty. This is deeper, more like a solar hallway between the exterior glazing and the thermal mass of the block wall.” The project was awarded Platinum certification in the LEED for Homes program. “It’s an awesome house: humble, clean, green, and soft and sexy in some areas,” Krupnick said. “The interesting thing about this and all my projects since then is that I fully engage the client as a design partner. Instead of being the great architect with all the grand ideas, we sit down as a team all the way through. I drop my ego and it boosts everyone else’s. “This client walked in said I know what I want, I’m an engineer, and it has to be really green. It has to be durable, all solar, and maintenance-free. In about two days we had the floor plan and the concept, then we had the appearance was down after about three months.” Program comes first and aesthetics second for Krupnick, but he added that aesthetics is “the only thing that matters in the end. “My idea of green is that if it’s not beautiful it’s not green because it’s going to get torn down. I saw way too many awesome Sixties adobes with solar sunrooms and trombe walls that were so ugly that everyone tore them down as soon as they could. Also this is a couple and his wife didn’t want to live in a concrete bunker, so we had to soften it up with feminine energy wherever we could. “The other way the house was so clean and easy to build is that when we drew it, we drew the concrete block with
the grout joint and laid out the house after we had the plan, exactly as the mason would do it. They didn’t cut one block in the house.” Krupnick made use of both Auto Cad and Google Sketchup. “The way I design is I do screenplays in my head. I think of the client with his bike coming home, and I think of 30 friends coming over for a party, little scenarios to see how the house functions.” ——————— AIA-Santa Fe also awarded Krupnick Studio with an honorable mention for College Town, a 150,000-square-foot residential/ commercial project in Tallahassee, Florida. It
was conceived with a developer friend, Alan Hooper, with whom Krupnick has worked on Florida projects for two decades. “This is in the warehouse district of Tallahassee. The way Alan and I design is to fit in with the neighborhood. The comment I get is, ‘It’s kind of modern but I like it.’ We try to do timeless modern work, where you’re not sure if it’s old and renovated or brand new.” The project opened at the beginning of the school year “We’re also doing two buildings to the north and two to the south. The big goal is try to set a vocabulary precedent in the neighborhood for others who will do future buildings.”

Friends group plans workshops, tours, films By Paul Weideman
F
riends of Architecture Santa Fe enjoyed a productive inaugural year, arranging film screenings, lectures, workshops, and tours. “We are looking out for people who are architecture enthusiasts,” said the group’s Allan T. Baer. The mission of Friends of Architecture Santa Fe is to enhance and foster awareness, knowledge and appreciation of architecture and the built environment. Baer and Friends president Anna van Schayk investigated the possibility of starting the nonprofit as a way to expand interest beyond the activities of the American Institute of Architects-Santa Fe. “Anna and I did research and talked to Friends groups across the country, for example in Houston, Boston, and Chicago. It’s quite an expanding movement,” he said. “We also talked to people in the New Mexico Architectural Foundation, which has existed for 20 or 25 years and is pretty much focused on the Albuquerque area. We wondered if it would be in our best interest to be a section of an existing organization or if we should go on our own to get 501C3 status, which is what we did. Anyone who donates money to us now gets a tax deduction. “AIA is a professional organization dedicated to promoting the profession. People who are not members can’t donate to AIA Santa Fe and get a tax deduction for a charity. We get most of our non-dues revenues from businesses like Dahl Plumbing or Builders Source and they get business-expense deductions for it.” Baer, vice president of the new Friends group, was awarded the AIA New Mexico Architects Medal in September for his unflagging commitment to the American Institute of Architects over the last two decades. He has been practicing architecture for over 40 years, beginning in Cambridge, MA, and relocating to Santa Fe in 1994. The other members of the Friends board of directors are Bob Kreger, AIA, treasurer; Craig Hoopes, AIA, secretary; Cynthia Canyon, Trend magazine; James Horn, AIA, lecture and tour coordinator; and John Padilla, AIA. “The point of all this is to share with everyone in the community what architects do,” Horn said. “That’s been my idea with the lecture series from day one.” He began bringing in visiting architects for the AIA prior to the organization of Friends. One example was Jack DeBartolo, principal of DeBartolo Architects, Phoenix, who presented two four-hour workshops titled Rethink/Redesign/Redeploy last October. “DeBartolo Architects was an extreme affordable housing workshop,” Horn said. “We’re trying to get people in teams to discuss and work on ideas.”

Other activites in 2013 included tours of Elephant Butte Dam (built 1911-1916) and the new, $209 million Spaceport America in June; and a tour of Amfab Steel Inc. in Bernalillo and a lunch presentation by engineer Erin Gachne Conaway of the American Institute of Steel Construction in July. Virtual Design -> Digital Fabrication -> Real World was the title of a workshop presented on Nov. 10 by Paul Martin of the Zahner company, whose projects include the de Young Museum and the Experience Music Project. The 2013 Friends of Architecture Santa Fe film series featured screenings at the Center for Contemporary Arts of 16 Acres (2012) about planning for the post-9/11 rebuilding of Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan; CaveDigger (2013) about the Embudo-area art caves of Ra Paulette; and Design is One (2012) on the careers of the husband-wife design team of Massimo and Lella Vignelli. The first in the 2014 film series is If You Build It, the story of a designer-architect couple who work with high-school juniors to build boards for the cornhole lawn game, chicken coops, and finally a farmers’ market pavilion for their North Carolina town. The 2013 film screens Jan 29 at the CCA. Also coming is The New Rijksmuseum (2013), about the renovation of the 1895 museum designed by Pierre Cuypers. “We’re working on quite a major exhibit featuring work by Steve Oles, who cofounded the American Society of Achitectural Illustrators and worked with I.M. Pei,” Baer said. “Also, one of our AIA members is doing a lot of work in Peru and we may be organizing a 10-day tour to see the Spanish colonial architecture in Lima and Cuzco and the Inca sites Machu Pichu and Sacsahuaman. Another possibility is a visit to the Louis Kahn-designed Kimbell Art Museum (1972) and its brand-new Renzo Piano Pavilion.” Scheduled for the 2014 lecture series is “Inside Story: Three Santa Fe Architects Show How It Was Done,” featuring Craig Hoopes, Beverley Spears and Barbara Felix discussing their work, respectively, on the Lensic Performing Arts Center, the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, and La Fonda. Tours of the three buildings will be scheduled as well. David Rasch, director of the city’s Historic Preservation Division, will talk on “The Definition and Developmet of Santa Fe Style.” In October, Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, New York City, will give a presentation about the integration of art and architecture. At press time, the Friends were planning three exhibitions. Two will be staged in the gallery at Design Warehouse on W. Marcy Street: one featuring projects that won awards in the 2012 and 2013 AIA competitons, and one a Rasch-curated show of architectural photographs. Thirdly is “Intersection: Craft and Architecture,” curated by Felix. For more information, see www.architecturesantafe.org or call 428-9056.

Work begins this month on Higher Ed Center By Paul Weideman
I
n January, Santa Fe Community College and the construction firm McCarthy New Mexico begin work on the college’s Higher Education Center. The 34,000-square-foot building is being developed on approximately 5 acres at the southeast corner of the old College of Santa Fe property, at the corner of Yucca Street and Siringo Road. “It is across the street from Santa Fe High School and we will be doing some dual-credit programs in the daytime, it will be heavily used by our higher-education partners in the evening, and we’ll have some regular Santa Fe Community College classes there,” said Randy Grissom, acting SFCC president. “It provides a closer location for the state employees downtown to take lunchtime classes. And in the two flex labs we hope to be doing medical-related training for the hospital just down the street. We’ll probably be doing some American Heart Association-type training and some emergency medical training, continuing education for hospital employees.” The Santa Fe Community College Higher Education Center (HEC) was launched in 2011. In partnership with New Mexico Highlands University, the Institute of American Indian Arts, New
Mexico State University, and the University of New Mexico, it gives students the option of earning a bachelor’s or master’s degree without leaving Santa Fe. The new HEC building is a U-shaped building around a courtyard. It will include 15 classrooms and two flexible lab spaces — all two-story except over the flex labs. “The flex-lab rooms are 900-square-foot spaces and can
be closed off for use on weekends, said Henry Mignardot, SFCC director of facilities. The HEC will use energyefficient heating and cooling via a ground-source heat pump. The project includes a 175-kilowatt, rooftop photovoltaic system, plus an additional four panels in the parking lot that may be used for instruction purposes. “This facility will most likely be
LEED Gold-certified, so we have continuous insulation; it’s like a big Igloo cooler,” said Matthew McKim, principal, Dekker Perich Sabatini Architects. “It’s steelframe, mostly EFIS [exterior insulation and finishing system], and it has a very robust infrastructure for wifi. “One space that’s kind of interesting we’re calling the collaborative learning lab. You enter from exterior doors or from the courtyard and it’s a big socializing space, where you can get computers and use wifi.” The learning lab will have furniture that can easily be moved and stored, so will also function for lectures and other events. “There’s a lot of natural light, so when you walk into the collaborative learning lab, you’ll be able to look through the transparent building into the courtyard. We’re trying to blur the inside-outside,” McKim said. “As far as the shading, we’re trying to do something that’s very New Mexican, using the building itself. The U-shaped windows — which have been used
at the college, so it’s kind of part of the SFCC brand — are inset in the double-studded walls that will be up to 3 1/2 feet thick on the west side.” The college will employ a money-saving “hoteling” strategy at HEC, where many faculty members will use immediate, temporary work stations rather than having their own desks. The overall idea is a building that is efficient and flexible. Among the previous Santa Fe projects of the Albuquerque-based Dekker Perich Sabatini firm are 48 units of student housing for the College of Santa Fe (now Santa Fe University of Art & Design), Plaza Santa Fe Phase II, the Thornburg Investment Management office building, the Zocalo condominiums, and the Bicycle Technologies International building near SFCC. The college and McCarthy will begin work on the $9 million HEC building this month and is planning for substantial completion in January 2015.

‘Hippie-built’ dwelling transformed By Paul Weideman
A
contemporized Santa Fe Style residential remodel by Praxis Architects won the top award in the 2013 Design Excellence Awards of the American Institute of Architects-Santa Fe. Jurors Curtis W. Fentress, Michael O. Winters, Jeff Olson, Matthew Breest, and John Stolze named the remodel project for owners James David and Gary Peese for the annual AIA Honor Award. Home interviewed Gabe Browne, principal of Praxis, about the residence on Hadisway Avenue in the Fort Marcy area. What’s the story behind this project? It’s an interesting one. The clients came to me; they owned a lot on Hadisway. I was associated with an architect in Austin, Texas, where the clients are from. They worked with him on a beautiful, 2,000-square-foot beautiful house.

January 2014
HOME
One day we were on the lot with the drawings in hand and I pointed out that their beautiful house with a really great view was next to lot with a casita but that could be built on in the future. In fact this is still zoned for 21 units an acre, so that neighbor could build six units there. I said I just want you to know we’re about to build an expensive house and the view could get built on. They said you’re right, if that lot comes on the market, we probably want to buy it, so keep an eye on the market. They had just left, it was just 20 minutes later, I’m getting ready to go, and up walks a Realtor friend, Dia Winograd. She was my neighbor when I was 7 years old growing up in Dixon. I asked her what she was doing there and she told me she was about to list that lot. It turns out this was owned by other old hippie friends of ours from Dixon. Did any of them live on this lot? Yeah, their grandmother lived in the house on the property. I called James and Gary back and they ended up buying it. They spent all my budget for that house, working
with me for two years on the little concrete house in front and we remodeled that as a casita, super-insulated with new electrical and plumbing and plaster. The main home is adobe, probably from the 1960s. It was classic hippie-built. I have a Ph.D. in hippie-built. Is “hippie-built” just a casual description or does it qualify as a style now? I think it’s a vernacular. It adopted the vernacular techniques but added decorative flourishes that are unique. That was very much what was going on when I was growing up in Dixon between from 1969 and maybe 1985, when I went away to school. You weren’t an adult until you built your own house. Did you work with the clients on the remodel work? I did. James David is a landscape architect; he and Gary had a business in Austin selling outdoor furniture. So not crushing this small lot was important. We just added four feet to one side and to the rear, expanding the kitchen, and we added a second level.
Is it adobe? The existing house was. Our additions were adobe on the ground floor and frame on the second floor. You probably upped the insulation factor. We added four inches of foam on the outside, so the walls are nice and thick. But what you did has contemporary elements. Yeah. First, the casita is a deep gray-green, which is kind of contemprary and contrasts with the beigy earthtone main house, and the windows are silver anodized aluminum, so those are not conventional choices. Nor are the hard corners, but we got rid of the reinforcing in the corners and had the plasterers make them wiggle the way Betty Stewart did. That staircase inside is a standout. It’s inside a modest entry. The guys had a vision of what they call “elemental” — they’re fans of the Dutch designer Axel Vervoordt — so they didn’t want veneers or what I call thin finishes. So much of our construction now is a series of super-thin layers. This staircase is just slabs of wood and steel sheet, with two bends. We called it the origami staircase because the vision is a long, thin piece of steel that sort of wraps upward. Has the market picked up noticeably? What are you working on now? In town I’m working on the Luna Project with Tom Easterson Bond. That’s the only commercial work I have going, but residential is going well, especially small contemporary. We may do another house for the client I designed the Shoebox House for in Tres Placitas Del Rio off West Alameda [which won an AIA award in 2011]. I also have what I’m hoping will be a LEED Platinum, net-zero house off La Barbaria. And we have two more remodels we’re starting next week.

UnderstandingAdobe
New Forest, old ideas, shaggy baloneys I’m always looking for opportunities to go somewhere new, even if it is a turn in the road where I have never been in Cuyamungué. Occasionally, I will wander farther abroad if there are benefits like profit, tax deductions or, far more importantly, a chance to spend some really nice time with my wife, Ann. That opportunity arose recently with a call for papers from the Wessex Institute of Technology located in The New Forest, Wiltshire, UK, home of the wonderful and wild Shaggy Ponies. (When we called our daughter, Sophia, back at home she thought we were describing our enchantment with shaggy baloneys. Anyway…) The topic of the convening was Structural Repairs of Heritage Architecture, with an emphasis on earthen buildings. Well, I know something about that topic and thought I might present a provocative treatise based not on technical matters, but on the development over the last hundred years or so of preservation philosophy. I submitted an abstract entitled Authenticity and the One-HundredYear Repair telling the tale of the restoration of two mission churches in New Mexico, Isleta and Santa Ana. I described how the communities cleverly chose to
elide all federal and state compliance issues regarding preservation standards by funding the projects themselves. The backstory here is that if any public monies are used for the restoration of cultural properties that are listed on the state or national register of historic places, the owner must comply with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards. Much has been said, in large part by me, about how the standards do not lend themselves to vernacular architecture and sometimes (often) force a building into a slot into which it does not fit. Space here is limited, but the argument can be found at: http:// crockerltd.net/adobe_SOI.htm Oddly, conservators and preservationists, mostly architects by training, freak at the thought of owners taking the care and restoration of old buildings into their own hands. The pueblos have a different view stated clearly to me 25 years ago by Governor Reginald Pascual of Acoma. When I had the temerity to suggest that the San Estevan del Rey mission church be nominated as a World Heritage Site, he responded flatly, “Ed, let’s get something straight; this is not world heritage. This is our heritage.” Ohhhh-kay.
So I took that idea to The New Forest. While Ann walked the woods, petted the ponies, and visited the pubs, I reviewed for my audience preservation charters and declarations from Madrid (1904) through Venice (1964) to San Antonio (1996); described how they influenced best (and sometimes worst) practices over time; then demonstrated how Isleta and Santa Ana, having rejected all that, completed their projects in such a fashion as to ironically win one preservation award after another. It put me in mind of the salient point in the Declaration of Amsterdam (1975), “People have an instinctive feeling for the value of heritage.” The response was perfunctory. I was in the wrong venue: 90 percent of the papers presented were by grad students from Europe droning on about such things as particle size distribution and modulus of rupture that was old news 20 or 30 years ago, or speculating on the vast economic benefits to be reaped by restoring train depots in the Basque country. Stuff like that. It finally dawned on us that Wessex is a publishing factory for academics who must keep their resumés plumped. Ann and I had a great time regardless. We left The New Forest early for

southwestern Scotland, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. We walked a bit of Hadrian’s Wall, visited the isolated and elegant Knockinaam Lodge where Eisenhower and Churchill met secretly to plot the D-Day invasion, and had daily pic-nics in the rain. Naturally, we took some deductions; and we’ll always have the shaggy baloneys. Edward Crocker (982-2448 or eec@ crockerltd.net) is a principal of Crocker Ltd.

MortgageMatters
Architecture and mortgage lending What does architecture have to do with mortgage lending? Normally, we might think that once we find the house, we apply for a mortgage loan, get an appraisal, and if everything clicks, we close the loan and move in. While this is true, it is important to back up to that first step, finding the house, and consider more than the location, more than the quaintness, and more than even the floor plan. One of the major considerations must be construction. In Santa Fe, unlike most other cities where you will find that homes in a subdivision are of cookie-cutter construction, there are homes of widely diverse materials. It’s one of our main attractions. Here, we have homes made of adobe bricks, double adobe bricks, brick, concrete block, wood, wood covered with stucco, 44

and metal. We even have homes whose corners are made with Styrofoam covered with stucco and walls constructed out of bales of hay. Our architecture is controlled in many subdivisions; that, coupled with the population’s desire to keep the city unique, causes Santa Fe homes to have a common look. This exterior similarity is where the homogeneity ends. Behind the “adobe walls,” Santa Fe homes are vastly different, and that is where the unique value exists. Homes made with double adobe walls are more valuable than those constructed with stud walls and little insulation. The height of the interior ceilings, the type of heating system, the source of fuel, the location and design of the home with respect to view, all contribute to value and mortgagability of the home.
As time passes and Santa Fe homes become much more than the sweet adobe cottages found on the Eastside and other areas, appraisers are becoming more aware of style and design differences. Whereas in the past the sturdiness and longevity of the exterior was one of three major concerns in determining value, style and design rank supreme today. Today, the value of your home is very much determined by architectural features and not just the size of the home. “We are not just buying lumber here” is something I have heard many times. Good value is determined by many architectural design factors. When buying your home, be sensitive to the design quality, as well as exterior construction. As always, depend on your Realtor to guide you in the process and point out differences that

Seton Castle ruins after handsome “stabilization” by Spears Architects

he ruins of Seton Castle — the home and education center of naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946) — have been transformed. The Academy for the Love of Learning hired Spears Architects to convert the fire-damaged building into a functional series of spaces for meditation and other activities. In December Spears won a Merit Award for the project from the Santa Fe branch of the American Institute of Architects. The work resulted in an intriguing collection of repaired walls reinforced with structural plaster and newly stuccoed, the remaining stone walls, and black-steel stairways and portal, with some charred-wood elements preserved as artifacts of the fire.
Seton was the 1902 organizer of a youth movement that came to be known as the Woodcraft League of America. He was also a prolific wildlife illustrator and, in 1910, a co-founder of the Boy Scouts of America. He built the 32-room Seton Castle — a stone and adobe structure that was arguably eclectic to the point of hodgepodge — in 1930. In 2005, two years after the Academy purchased the property and in the midst of restoration work, a blaze severely damaged the house, which was on the National Register of Historic Sites. Seton’s thousands of books, paintings, drawings, animal specimens, and Indian artifacts had been removed before the calamity. “The fire totally decimated the Seton Castle, but the stone walls were still standing,” Beverley Spears, principal of the architecture firm. “The site was cleaned up but then the Academy had the decision about what to do with the ruins. It was decided to stablilize them and keep that as a memorial to Seton but also as almost a standing scultpure for meditation and certain events. “The original building was somewhat cobbled together and what remained after the fire for the most part were the downstairs stone walls. One two-story wall is kind of on a hillside, so it was a rather complex situation. The question was how to stabilize the walls for safety and permanence and make the space navigable, useable.

Rain barrels a great place to start These days rain barrels are very easy to acquire. Most garden and landscape stores stock them in a wide variety of colors, sizes and shapes. They typically start at about 55 gallons and go up to several hundred gallons. A typical 55-gallon barrel is about 18 inches wide and four feet tall and made
also be clay, wood, glass or metal. Gone are the days of plain, brown or green food-grade barrels. Like the one in this picture built by Santa Fe’s own RainVessels (www.rainvesselsusa.com), they can be custom designed to fit almost any home style. Pre-made barrels come equipped with a faucet at the bottom and a screen on the top to keep out critters and debris. It is also good practice to have an overflow spigot near the top of the barrel. It can be as simple as another hose spigot — anything to allow the barrel to drain. In the city of Santa Fe, rain barrels equipped with overflow spigots and screens qualify for a rebate (www. santafenm.gov/water_conserA decorative rain barrel by the local but company of high-density polyethylene, they RainVessels can vation).

Your plants appreciate rainwater more than municipal or well water because it does not have the chlorine of city water or the minerals (i.e., salts) of typical well water. Rain barrels allow rainwater to be directed away from the house, walls and foundation, thereby reducing the possibility of water damage to the house. Lastly, rainwater is free and will always be free so rain barrels allow you to use a healthy resource indefinitely and without cost once they are installed. Small barrels provide an easy way to get started and can easily be installed by one or two people. An empty, small rain barrel will typically weigh about 30 to 40 pounds. You may want to consider hiring a rainwater professional to install larger barrels. Rain barrels are a great way to start catching the rain. They are easy to install, readily available, and allow us to make

Autotroph Design wins award for bus shelters

A
series of distinctive new bus shelters won Autotroph Design an honorable mention in the recent awards of the American Institute of Architects-Santa Fe. With a few exceptions, Santa Fe’s bus-stop shelters are homely and lack a unifying identity. The Autotroph structures are meant to create an image that everyone will associate with Santa Fe Trails. In designing the handsome, durable shelters, Autotroph principal Alexander Dzurec was inspired by the Hispanic folk-art tradition of creating punched-tin panels for lamps, nichos, and other household and religious uses. A panelized
component system was developed to construct an array of bus stops, ranging from simple sign posts to larger shelters, for various locations. In other Autotroph award news, Dzurec was named for an AIA-New Mexico Honor Design Award in September for Modern Ruin, a contemporary 2,500-square-foot residence and studio designed in collaboration with owner Zane Fischer. The project won the AIASanta Fe Honor Award in 2012.
Spears continued from page 47 work real hard to keep the project under that amount.” The project team included Cornerstones Community Partnerships; Native American Housing Consultants, Albuquerque; and Avanyu General Contracting, Española, which was in charge of the adobe restoration.
“The building was a real mess and Cornerstones really helped, including with volunteers — among them the cartoonist Ricardo Caté, who was out there a number of times, and youth from the northeastern United States.” A new truss roof and adobe restoration were big parts of the project. “The building now is useable, with a restroom. The idea
was to sell arts and crafts and that’s now in the court of the pueblo.” The trading post once had painted decorations on the facade, including “This is it! the Oldest Indian Trading Post in the West since 1881” in large lettering. “Cornerstones put in for a mural restoration,” Horn said. “There has been a lot of effort to determine which mural should be used. The
building front was changed a little for the 1970 Anthony Quinn movie Flap. The stock of photos is pretty limited, but we’ve taken stills from the movie. “The long-term plan is to have retail counter and café for people coming in at the New Mexico Rail Runner Express stop.”

Utah home by Archaeo a winner By Paul Weideman

efinitely the farthest-flung winner in December’s AIA-Santa Fe awards gala is a residence in St. George, Utah, by Archaeo Architects. Located at the foot of spectacular red-rock formations, the house is essentially in the Santa Fe style, stuccoed wood-frame construction. “As I do with most of my projects, I focused on the fantastic views and the natural light and bringing that into the space in unique ways,” said Archaeo principal Jon Dicks, who accepted a Merit Award during the Dec. 12 gala. “For example, in several areas I have a narrow window that transitions into a skylight with a butt-glazed connection, so it’s as if the glass is wrapping up the wall and into the ceiling. Also there are a few butt-glazed corner windows done not as kind of an architectural trick or feature but just to get the views. “In a way I was trying to allow the architecture to be somewhat humble and just opening it up to the views. And I gestured to the historical vernacular of the hacienda courtyard. I tried to break up the massing to make it look

as if there are several structures collected around a courtyard, but in fact it’s all one.” The residence is in a subdivision of 2-acre lots, so one challenge was to try to block views of nearby houses — but not by simply avoiding outside windows, as was sometimes traditionally done in courtyard houses in the Spanish Southwest. “No, although the covenants do want a wall-dominated architecture on the exterior, so I ended up cutting into the gentle slope of the site. The cut is an arc around the outside of the building and that arc is far enough away that your view angle is not compromised by the foreground.” The clients decided to buy this property after looking in Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Sedona, and other areas. The kicker was an evening visit to St. George when a full moon rose over the red rocks. “That did it for them, and we we did kind of a moon theme, including on a copper gate to the garden courtyard.” He worked with Alchemy Lights in Santa Fe to come up with sconces having a sickle-moon cutout. The architect pushed for traditional pigmented plaster on the interior walls. Nobody in St. George does that, and the team ended up using Santa Lucia Plasterers (Gustavo
Duran) in Santa Fe. “The floors are pigmented concrete, but in the kitchen they’re black walnut. We found some monks in the northeast who harvest the walnut environmentally, using horse and wagon, and the clients loved that.” Even though the project came with a tight budget, the architect was able to design some doors, gates, and light fixtures, which he does not normally get a chance to do. “For the lights, we found Casa Talamantes, a company in Mexico that used to have a shop in Albuquerque. The clients had seen a light fixture in Mexico and they sent me a photograph of it and from that I did drawings for copper sconces and pendants.” Dick said he was a little surprised to get an award for the Utah home, because he also submitted a Galisteo Basin project that was a Parade of Homes winner and was featured in the Wall Street Journal. “The jury may have snapped to the fact that I had extremely rigid covenants in the Kayenta subdivision in St. George,” he said. “They virtually don’t want the houses to be seen, so there’s a 12-foot height restriction and many stylistic restrictions. They even have governance over your interior lighting; you can’t even have an exposed bulb visible from the exterior.”

Some nights before solstice ‘Twas some nights before solstice when all through the beds, The creatures were stirring. Some soon could lose heads! Lettuce, cilantro, carrots, greens, peas, Were hoping, and praying, I’d ward off the freeze.
Adjusting each translucent plastic-sheet cover, Above the white row-cloth set just-right—to hover Over those peas, carrots, greens—all alive! “And if they do die at least we’ll have strived To sustain ourselves in our little way.”
I was out on the fake lawn, my brain in a scatter, But said to my wife, “At least it won’t matter. If our garden grows, why, it will save cash, And give us some nice, healthy food we can stash. But right now, there’s still ye ole Trader Joe (Sure … when in the ‘hood, to the Co-op we go.), And the farmers’ market we hold so dear, Will be there for us when we appear. But if this freeze snaps our veggies right quick, You know we’ll soon plant much, much more that we’ll pick.”
Then, in an instant, the sky went grey.
More rapid than eagles, her orders they came, “Yeah, honey,” said she, “I’ll call them by name. Some kale please, some chard, and bok choi all mixedin To our sometimes-successful cold-hardy garden. And when summer comes, I’ll need grapes climbing walls! You know it, my dear, I want it all!”
After the deep cold came some heavy snow, (An insulator, that’s darn good, as you know) But when it dipped lower to six, seven at night, We feared our sweet friends had then lost the fight. But finally when warmer days did emerge, I was able to build up some courage and splurge Enough karma to check, to peek, at our food, And when I did, things really looked good!

When coyote, or cougar, or neighborhood dog Came knocking for dinner cloaked in snow-fog. They gored up two chickens, and one was just missing. Was she a to-go meal? I’m only guessing.
I spoke not a word, but went straight to my work, Stood up from the bed, and turned with a jerk. Got my gloves, got my trowel, and then blew my nose. Lo, and behold! Nothing! Not one thing had froze! Our cold frames had done it! They paid off for us! Again, we’d have fresh cilantro and lettuce! Still, no peas were budding nor ready to fruit, But, somehow, some way, they sure did look cute.
Well, in the morning, when this came to light, It was gross and disgusting, but it was all right. With the snow and the frost, to dig them a grave, It wasn’t easy. You had to be brave, So I waited some days to bury the things, Making compost and really good soil from their wings.

As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly, I sprang to my work, for it meant do or die.

Commercial tenant representation The specialty of commercial tenant representation has come a long way since it was pioneered in the mid-1980s. Today many business owners, especially of small to medium-sized businesses, are unaware that the option even exists. Many smallbusiness owners do not have the expertise or knowledge of the current market to take full advantage of available opportunities. The commercial market is not like the residential sales market in which there is an open flow of information and the average individual can come close to surmising values and opportunities. There is currently no public database of leasing information and comps, making the utilization of an erudite commercial broker imperative. The most experienced commercial brokers will typically have earned their Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation. CCIM is the most prestigious designation commercial professionals can achieve within the industry. Graduate-level education, coupled with industry leading technology
tools, practical proven experience, and in-depth knowledge of their local markets gives CCIMs the ability and credibility to conduct any commercial transaction successfully. As any business owner would tell you, the last things they want to spend time and precious resources on is looking for a new space to accommodate a rapidly growing business, negotiating a lease renewal or relocating the business altogether. The lost opportunity, cost of performing market research, previewing potential spaces, and negotiating the deal can be overwhelming, not to mention that the end result of such interactions are often lease rates at 10 to 20 percent above market values. In a soft commercial market like we have today, the opportunities in a lease are whatever you can negotiate. A seasoned professional will have numerous creative options to save his or her clients’ money. This may include focusing negotiations on other important areas of the lease such as tenant improvements, moving costs
and annual rent escalations, which are all often overlooked and significantly contribute to a tenant’s overall out-of-pocket expense. A commercial tenant representative analyzes and compares total effective rent, total effective rate, average annual effective rent, average annual effective rate and discounted effective rent. They may also provide further in-depth information using an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) method or a Net Present Value (NPV) analysis. Depending on the market, the broker may also prepare an analysis of a lease vs. own analysis depending on the client’s goals and business outlook. Through these methods, the savings by utilizing a commercial tenant representative are significant. Not only can a business owner employ a competent commercial real-estate broker but, more often than not, the payment for the majority of such services is covered by the landlord. In today’s market, landlords are typically more than willing to pay to fill their vacancies. Further, as the specialty has evolved, many commer-

cial tenant representatives will actually share this fee with their clients in order to promote and grow the service as well as maintain client loyalty. Brant Goodman (505-983-4986, Brant@ kokoproperty.com) is a Santa Fe native and has been involved in real estate since 2004. Chief operations officer for Kokopelli Property Management, he recently earned the CCIM designation.
SocialNetworking
What’s new? What’s next? It is now 2014 and hard to believe the 14th year of our 21st century began on a Wednesday when it felt more like it began on Facebook in a nanosecond. We are now living on the planet at a time when it is estimated four out five people communicate from nearly anywhere at any time on a mobile device. And it was predicted that by now nearly 50 percent of all internet traffic would be on mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets. This is more than a trend. It is a staggering shift to begin to comprehend. This New Year is all about you and mobile social networking. The trends will follow and will be all about what you do when you connect. What’s new and what’s next will be about how we adapt and change rather than any predictions. Christmas is in the air as I look ahead to see where our mobile world of social networking is going next. I remember my first experience of discovering what it meant to be mobile. My first experi52

ence with mobile technology was a pair of roller skates discovered under a beautiful tree one Christmas morning. Those skates were a game-changer in my world of five years. I was mobile. Today, I see smartphones in the hands of five-year-olds. They are mobile. They see the world by tapping a small screen. Mobile technology continues to be a game-changer all around us. Regardless of our age, how we incorporate all of these technologies has changed how we communicate and connect with each other. Social networking is now main stream. It is not a fad. It is now the glue that connects us in our everyday work and life. Focusing on what we are doing with our smartphones may be a way to see where we are headed. The real story for 2014 is not about Google glasses, Facebook’s revenue, Twitter’s stock value, MySpace’s rebirth, Foursquare’s decline, LinkedIn’s B2B growth, Instagram’s 15 second video, Pinterest
designs, YouTube’s comment tool or the arrival of SnapChat. It is about our acceptance of mobile technology and social networking as a necessity in our everyday life. Social media is now used commonly anytime and anyplace from the bedroom to the boardroom as we share information, pictures, stories, news in the form of tweets, posts, likes and blogs. We have changed. We now accept the sharing of information. We demand transparency. We sign paperless documents. We google search everything and everyone. We store ideas and our history in the cloud. We interact with our TV shows and newspapers. We learn and teach more online than in schools. We trust our social networkers. We post our lives on Facebook. We tweet to tell our story. We create and social-network content, news, stories, videos and Instagram moments. We use the SnapChat app to erase what we just said. We protect our privacy by changing

Renewal, renewal, renewal Re-new. Re-invigorate. Re-imagine. These are concepts and actions that find their way into our conscious or subconscious at the beginning of a new year. We feel a pull toward improvement, refocusing, and perhaps a re-dedication to things that are important to us. We see it as a chance to push the re-start button, to evaluate priorities and find new ways to support them. It is in this mode that our environments can play a big role, either in stifling or enhancing our state of mind.
perspective. In some cases, a few hours of our thoughtful “play” in a space editing, repurposing, and creating new composition will net an entirely new outlook. Examples might be moving a treasured blanket chest more front and center for coffee-table use, or an heirloom piece of glass or china collecting dust in a cabinet to a place of prominence on a mantle. We often find that the issues most in need of attention are beauty, clutter and flow. Beauty comes in many forms, and is
Uncluttered serenity: the beauty of simplicity
Our daily surroundings, whether at home or in our workplace, are key influencers of mood and productivity. Much of what we do as interior designers is assessing a space and offering fresh
often found in the unexpected. Whether we know it or not, we all are better for having spots of beauty in our vistas. It can be a view through a window; an object or painting that evokes happiness; or
the way a composition comes together with the right balance of heights, shapes, textures and palette. The Japanese concept of wabi sabi suggests that “the moments of embracement by beauty are actually moments of enlightenment” and that “beauty cannot be explained; it can only be experienced” — from The Spirit of Wabi Sabi by James and Sandra Crowley. The concept offers the phrase mono no aware, which is the ability of an object to move the human heart. Clutter is the antithesis of wabi sabi. It holds space, energy, and suspends mental clarity. The removal of clutter requires editing and taking an inner inventory of what has value, what lends itself to our needs, enhances the poetry of our surroundings, or evokes pleasant memories or inspiration versus what can be stored, given to others, or purged. According to the Japanese concept, disorder is opposed to nature. When we speak of flow, we focus on what lends itself to possibility, what allows freedom in our thoughts and movement. Our workplaces can restrict our optimal ability to think, feel energized, and be our most productive. That is because often there is a combination of lack of inspired surroundings and an abundance

of clutter. The addition of elements of that hold beauty to us — the organic beauty of a plant, a bowl of findings that connect you to the world outside, a beautifully framed photo or a calming color on the walls — can help us transcend the pressures or blockages that we are subject to. So as we embrace another year, full of possibility, we encourage you to reflect upon how the spaces that influence your life and those you share it with are working for the greater good. Perhaps it is your own place of business that influences the experience of your patrons, or it is your home that should nourish and replenish you. How can you better edit, add meaning or passion, and create the best sense of flow? Happy new year, and may it be filled with beauty.
