New Guest House for a Historic Renovation
Santa Fe, NM

New Territorial Stye Guest House.

In 2017, Tyaga & Company added a guest house to the original 1925 adobe residence, transforming the property into an intimate compound that preserves the charm and ambiance of its historic roots. Designed to complement the main house in both style and proportion, the guest house features traditional Santa Fe elements, including a classic kiva fireplace, a spacious yet inviting living area, and a cozy, well-appointed kitchen.

Attention was given to every architectural detail—from the matching window design to the plaster walls and woodwork—to ensure a seamless visual continuity with the original structure. A covered portal opens gracefully onto a shared courtyard, creating a serene and welcoming outdoor space that connects the guest house with the main home. The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, offering privacy and continuity.
