About This Project

The Rio Grande Bosque Residence, nestled within the serene landscape of Tinnin Farms in Albuquerque’s North Valley, exemplifies a harmonious blend of sustainable design and luxurious living. This stunning two-story residence spans 5,570 square feet, showcasing an innovative site-specific and climate-driven design approach that fulfills the homeowner's aspirations while adhering to environmentally conscious principles. Achieving LEED for Homes Gold certification, the residence is a testament to the potential of green building practices in creating an elegant yet functional living space. One of the standout features of the Bosque Residence is its sophisticated rainwater catchment system, which serves as the primary source for garden irrigation, promoting sustainability while enhancing the lush outdoor environment. The home is enveloped in highly insulated materials that not only optimize energy efficiency but also ensure comfort throughout the seasons. The selection of non-toxic and recycled materials reflects a commitment to health and well-being, contributing to a space that is both beautiful and safe for its inhabitants. The residence is equipped with a 7kW photovoltaic array, enabling it to achieve electric Net Zero status, thus significantly reducing its carbon footprint. This forward-thinking integration of renewable energy reflects a modern approach to residential living, where luxury and responsibility coexist seamlessly. The thoughtfully designed living spaces offer seamless transitions to summer and winter patios, allowing the family to fully embrace New Mexico’s exceptional climate throughout the year. The outdoor entertaining area, highlighted by an inviting outdoor kitchen and a refreshing pool, is framed by majestic existing cottonwood trees, creating a picturesque setting for gatherings and relaxation. The craftsmanship in the design and construction of the Bosque Residence exemplifies a commitment to quality and aesthetics, resulting in a home that is not only a personal sanctuary but also a model of sustainable living in the Albuquerque region.
