#2 Terraplen Architects & Eagle Construction

As so often happens in Santa Fe, plans for a small renovation turned into a major undertaking. Such was the case when a pair of homeowners — scholars at a nearby college — sought to make upgrades to this 1950s-era craftsman-style home in the South Capitol district of Santa Fe. What was a single-floor house has been remodeled into a two-story stunner that is an example of hard work and imagination coming together.

Terraplen Architects and its collaborating builder Eagle Construction Services Inc. teamed up for this formidable project. Bringing the home up to today’s tastes required a new kitchen complete with modern cabinets, countertops, appliances and more.

But most daunting was the addition of a second floor which included a bathroom loft and office space for getting some work done at home. Indeed, part of the roof and its supporting structures had to come off in order to add on the new spaces needed for the addition.
