Finding fault in a sunset is hard. Fiery tones melt into the horizon for a spectacle that colors the sky in a spectrum of yellow, orange, peach, pink, and purple.
But sunsets look a little different from one location to the next, and Chicago-based designer Thomas Stringer was particularly drawn to those in Santa Fe, where the sun marries with the glow of the desert landscape. Nestled amid the mountains, the home he designed for one couple adopted that glow to inspire a palette that's more about the blend than the bold.
"The way that the house sits back from the road, it's a bit of a secret," Stringer says. "And then you walk into the front door, and immediately there is this grand view of the valley that delights with all its layers."
Renovated during the pandemic, this hidden house showcases its owners' love for relaxed living. A roster of materials elevates it to a nature-charged sanctuary.
