Studio Beili

The Green Star Builders’ entry in this year’s Haciendas: A Parade of Homes resembles the company’s 2023 Grand Hacienda winner in several ways. It is another collaboration with designer Stephen Beili, it has an unassuming facade, and it is generously filled with impeccable details in steel and wood, with finishes that lean toward natural textures. However, this dwelling was created for homeowners with a very different building site and aesthetic, making it the essence of a custom home. Overlooking dramatic vistas, this home has a bold urbane vibe. Visitors arrive in an intimate courtyard that opens into the main living area, revealing an attention-grabbing Sangre de Cristo panorama. Exotic dark wenge wood, black Caesarstone, and cerise cabinets set a suave and refined tone. The home is designed for elegant entertaining inside or outside on the partially sunken patio. The great room’s steel beams, stuccoed walls, cherry wood ceiling, and polished concrete floor extend outside, emphasizing the connection between the indoors and the outdoors.
