This is an 8’x24′ build we delivered to a lovely elderly woman down in Albuquerque. She had entered into retirement and was tired of maintaining an older house in a different part of town. We named it San Mateo after a local byway in ABQ near where the house is parked. Sadly, we didn’t get too many great photos prior to delivery, but I was able to take a brief video.
One of the more striking features of this build is the exterior siding. It is clad entirely of rusty corrugated metal. We pre-rusted it at our shop with our secret oxidizing formula. This color and material fits in so well with the desert Southwest!
The interior is a striking contrast with a mostly white finishes to keep it simple and bright. The wood accents are clear coated poplar. She opted for a full stainless steel counter and appliances, including a dishwasher!
The design calls for a Murphy bed on the back wall, as well as a couch opposite the kitchen. These were put in by the owner and not shown in the video.
