I was born in Albuquerque, we lived in Old Town for a while, and in a part adobe old home. My grandmother is from Zuni Pueblo, and the colors and textures of NM are in my dna. Even though I now live by the ocean in NC, I'll always love NM's sacred beauty, it lives in my heart. And, this home is an absolutely beautiful personification of the spirit of Sante Fe.
From an design standpoint, this house, including the interior furnishings, is a 10/10 and a model for 'modern rustic'. It is absolutely fantastic and I'm in awe.
Ju is a genuine craftsman artist who still finds joy in the products and details he created. love the way he touches stuff when he talks about them. kudo's to him and his family beautiful home
i love the natural interior elements; i also love the different volumes, it looks like a naturally grown santa fe home, this kind of architecture lends itself so well to adding rooms
A lot of respect for Ju actually working on his home. I used to be a construction worker and I would hate when rich home owners walked though with their pals and said they are building this or that...like, no you're paying people to build it, cut themselves, get headaches, sweat to build it. Ju seems like a really cool and no pun intended down to earth dude. This house is so cool too.
With an attitude like that it's really no wonder you "used to be" a construction worker. Do you know who's idea it was which gave you a job in the first place?
M. Brandon lol I used to be a construction worker because I was working as I finished by degree. I’m now living internationally working in 3D printing industry. I kept all my opinions to my self champ.
Then what are they paying you for? Were you working for free? My father helps construction workers all the time and they always take advantage of that.
I love the untreated walls and the rejection of paint. I too like texture. This is a very, very nicely designed house. One of my favourites on your channel so far, and i've been subscribed for years and years.
The wood in the house really warms up the space otherwise it would look cold and unfinished. It feels cosy and calm inside with the materials used and I quite like the earthy muted tones.
Loved this, as always. I love hearing people talk about how they built their homes and created their own particular nest while learning about technical facts about construction. The best of both worlds.
I love how you let them tell their story. It is fun to watch so many of your episodes where the home is so much more than a house to the people you interview
There's just something about this aesthetic that I love. The look of the wood and the use of the real adobe floors really sets it off. And I agree that those raw interior walls have a great look as well. Nicely done. From the outside, it almost looks like a tiny village. So nice.
I just wish this for everyone. Anyone that has a vision, a dream to create whatever sanctuary they imagine, comforting and invigorating them, appropriate, of course, to the population...I wish everyone could do such things. I think everyone deserves such enveloping comfort and security in their home, let alone everyone deserving shelter in the first place.
Such a beautiful organic formed home, I love how he build it from scratch and she slowly fell in love with it. The garden, the overflow, the Feng Sui, all is done so harmonious. His daughters' room is his wish from his youth, yet she loves to sit at the table, all made by him. It really opened my heart to walk through it with you, Kirsten. Thank you.
The amount of respect, attention to historical details, and skillful renovation is great. I love your beautiful home and wish you all the best for the future.
It's sublime !!! Thank you for sharing with us your amazing home and I wish to thank everyone involved with the making of this video as it's perfection. No annoying music or commentary from voices that grate on one's nerve's. This is how every house tour should be presented. Well done everyone !!!👏👏👏
What a great architect. This is an incredible upgrade to that corner lot of land. So much personally and soul went into this home. A great place to live, for a wonderful family. 👍
I have no idea how may videos I have watched on this channel, many. They have all been pretty good well made mini-docs of peoples lives and ideas. This is probably the most amazing one so far. The way in which the builder and his family explained the purpose of the choices they made to create a most wonderful living space...Just wonderful.
One can tell this is a peaceful, happy home. Great vibes. I love the walls' soft color and texture. Nice landscaping for the climate, and I like that they collect rainwater and solar energy.
Great Santa Fe digs! Love the colors that came out on your walls=none better! Also really like the industrial style lights above your dining table, they just fit. Enjoyed your creation came out great, our home is Adobe as well, the skins or outside layer are cement, oh well, thank you both for sharing your creation, enjoyed your video %100!
This is near Cerro Gordo/Montoya Circle. My great grandparents built their home there generations ago and were Montoyas, indigenous people forced to live in the hillside and build their homes by hand. The street still bears their name.
The People reflect the very pure energy and nature of the owners that enjoyed talking about their processes and humble innovative resourceful knowledge and understanding of how the end product of their home, has genuinely made the very comfortable, calm and happy. Saved for future ideas to hep make my families home in near future. This approach is a healthy, sustainable concept. Be Very Well in your home. Thank You Kirsten. Well Liked🦋
Wow so 'Beautiful such sleek designs..I love the materials he used in the entire dwelling very magical with the natural light..it fits within its location..of deep south living..that we long for;when you build something of great beauty everyone desire 's to share in a part of it..we are guided to the beauty of the building and it's builder..💛
I saw this house on the market and scratched my grey cells ... THANK YOU for making this a sanctuary and for sharing and showing it ... awesomeness!, Santa Fe living 💖💖
Yet another amazing video; Amazing videography and "story telling", and amazing homeowners whose creative vision, blood, sweat and tears made this amazing home. So much character and class. Brings back many fond memories of visiting New Mexico. I'm so happy there are families out there who are enriching their neighborhoods and community with these Labors of Love. Absolutely lovely home and cool family. THANKS to both Kristen & Nicholas for another inspirational video, and Ju & Courtney for sharing their home with us.....and for Siena for tolerating the dorky adults invading her space. I'm sure they edited out her "eye rolls"
I love this house. Everything about it. I wouldn’t really change anything. It’s so zen, so many nice details and different texture, color, materials...they have great taste. Beautiful!
I was born and raised in ABQ, NM. Going to Santa Fe was something I regularly did. The architecture, the adobe homes, the colors, the wonderful food, I sure miss it. Also one of my favorite things to do was to travel around the state and visit the old town areas. I always hoped to live in an old adobe house, but can’t afford to!
I am in love ! Omg ! Such a beautiful house that spoke directly to my heart. I am so glad that I was able to see this video. Blessings on the owners. 🪔🌺🌸🪔🌸🌺♥️❤️🪔🌸🌺🪔
This is an owner who have respect for nature and passion for his works. This is what make a house into a home. Kudos to you Ju. May you find maybe great blessing in this house and am sure the feng shui is awesome after you done this up now
Is Ju Tan formerly from Singapore or Malaysia ? His accent is so familiar. What a wonderful family home in a lovely city ! In terms of design, I LOVE how the home was kept to the adobe style with gorgeous painstaking handiwork, and from one who admitted he grew up in a city with very rudimentary experience in woodworking. Kirsten's channel is such a pleasure : a natural, honest approach, letting the people and homes speak for themselves.
After a few sentences, am wondering if he’s originally from Malaysia or Singapore. That’s before he was on the video, I knew he sounded South East Asian Chinese. Enjoyed this video, thank you very much.
That was my third time through this video. It's like watching a favorite movie, memorizing every thing as it unfolds, every color, every feature, every detail.
Thanks for a good unique house feature: I could live there. And oh, the builder-owner reminds me of my DIY- skillful dad who in the days past during his life in the ministry could make things more comfortable sans the facilities at which we found the place, because he could fashion out something for the use of the family. Indeed, it is true that it is us who can ennoble a place no matter in what state we got it. Kudos!
Truly remarkable. It's so asthetically pleasing. What a beautiful home and area it is located. Tis nice to see the different themes and looks of homes and areas around the world. Ju and his family are lovely people. He is so respectful holding back the floods for his neighbours :)
I always wanted to live in the southwest as i am sick and tierd of Michigan snow and the cold. Nearly 8 months of the year i am stuck inside and this home ju made is beautiful and a dream home. I have over 1 acre of property surrounded by woods and a pole barn but like i said if you don't like freezing cold then it's useless more than half a year. I love this channel and seeing all the cool places people have made their home.
Northern NM is is very cold and snowy. If it's 11 degrees here in Taos County, maybe 75 miles north of SFe and an average of 7,500 feet elevation, then it's maybe 16 to 18 degrees in SFe. You probably want southern New Mexico's low elevation and much warmer clime. Carlsbad is always warm.
Absolutely beautiful home and so full of wonderful, natural means in the finishes chosen. I also love that your programming is a refreshing contrast in many ways, to other channels. It feels like sincere conversations are taking place around the stories told. You are an excellent observer, listener and producer! Seeing your family sometimes as part of the episodes, even more appealing. Happy New Year to you and yours! Muchísimas bendiciones y grandes felicidades!
Ju Tan sees beauty or potential where others do not and turned that lot into something beautiful. He probably bought it cheap but now that property is worth so much more. BTW he is from the beautiful island city of Singapore ~ he has that unmistakable singaporean accent.
Never forgotten the lit sacks on the roof edges which are beautiful and magical in the evenings. And as a builder in a non-freezing climate, how deep the water valves were in the street was a revelation...
This is an amazing house. Ideas and choices so simply made, executed and beautifully explained. Great that they don't need air con. The skylights worked really well and the lighting was fun and whimsical. I'd be almost living on that roof I think!
My first project as a contractor was for a prominent Reno art dealer who wanted a Pueblo style house. It was much like this house, a stuccoed wood frame structure. Ceilings were tradition Vegas and latillas imported from New Mexico by the owner. Floors were all brick. Seeing this nice project bought back a lot of old memories for me.
It’s another “sad” autospell event... vigas (my autospell wanted to change it to Vegas, as well). I lived outside Santa Fe [in Eldorado]. 20 years Albuquerque (youth thru college at UNM), Corrales, Alamogordo, Las Cruces and returned to purchase a home in the Rio Grande Conservancy District of ABQ. Sandia High graduate. Even though I’d been all those places in NM, it wasn’t until the Eldorado home, with vigas, latillas, saltillo tile floors, and where we had a kiva fireplace did I learn how to build a “proper teepee” fire. I loved seeing it again. New Mexico is ethereal and this video completely embodies it.
I absolutely love your channel Kirsten! I’ve been following you for years and your videos never disappoint! You always find the most interesting dwellings and your mini docs cannot be beaten. Seriously, you are amazing! ❤
Not my style at all...but wow, such a cozy, inviting space. I am not sure if the warmth comes from the home or the lovely couple...maybe both. Such a lovely, gifted and creative man.
Ju & Courtney----love seeing your house done. Gorgeous, stunning, well thought out, with lots of soul. If I get back I want too see it in person. Good job!!!!!
Their style is similar to Japandi, which is my current favorite. It has simple off color walls with a slight texture because of the material, beautiful wood accents, and neutral color furniture. I love it!
Magnificent !! simply magnificent ! in every single way....and detail. I live in the Southernmost part of Mexico and also refer to most of the vegetation surrounding my old Adobe house as "Volunteers"..lol I suppose that we are All Volunteers to this wondrous World that we inhabit. Y'all are l simply terrific ! I hope that Life provides you All with everything that is most important.....Love....good health...and Time.....Time to enjoy the Simple Things in Life that always provide the greatest pleasure. Felicidades ! de San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico Pura Vida !!!
Isn't that so very xenophobic? Shouldn't we all be multicultural, letting our mono cultures be diminished by all newcomers? Isn't this the progressive age of the destruction of western mono cultures? Xenophilia is the occurrence of people loving all cultures, except their own.
Such a beautiful home! I love the finishing details, Ju did an amazing job! I wish I had his talent and energy! And now I'm falling in love with the Santa -FE style. I would love to move to Santa-FE!
just wanted to say, i have been watching videos through youtube since probably like ten years ago and this channel by far has never stopped in my subscription. i always always enjoy the contents. thank you always for having such awesome content.

More... or Less.
I’m from Santa Fe too. Did you cringe every time she said Santa FE instead of SANTA Fe?
it's incredible how well that vernacular architecture melds with modern architecture. it's beautiful.
From an design standpoint, this house, including the interior furnishings, is a 10/10 and a model for 'modern rustic'. It is absolutely fantastic and I'm in awe.
Agreed!, Stunning Home 😉😉😉
Ju is a genuine craftsman artist who still finds joy in the products and details he created. love the way he touches stuff when he talks about them. kudo's to him and his family beautiful home
He is quite brilliant too. Every aspect of that house was thought out quite well.
'Genuine craftsman artist'? The guy did good work but let's not go overboard. That's just a little too much.
I love how he took a lot with many challenges and made it sing.
Agreed! Solving a difficult site with vision and ingenuity netted a fantastic outcome.
This is an amazing house. It looks like a simple adobe house, but the engineering and forethought that went into it makes it very complex.
i love the natural interior elements; i also love the different volumes, it looks like a naturally grown santa fe home, this kind of architecture lends itself so well to adding rooms
A lot of respect for Ju actually working on his home.

Well said, where would we be without the hard working builders like yourself.👍🙂
With an attitude like that it's really no wonder you "used to be" a construction worker. Do you know who's idea it was which gave you a job in the first place?

@@checkmatefurries286 "attitude" Oh, the irony.
Then what are they paying you for? Were you working for free? My father helps construction workers all the time and they always take advantage of that.
I lived in Albuquerque for 30 years & miss it terribly- the beauty, the air, the weather, the food, the arts, the mixture of cultures & the children.
I love the untreated walls and the rejection of paint. I too like texture. This is a very, very nicely designed house. One of my favourites on your channel so far, and i've been subscribed for years and years.

Loved this, as always. I love hearing people talk about how they built their homes and created their own particular nest while learning about technical facts about construction. The best of both worlds.
I love the house and the back story.
I love how you let them tell their story. It is fun to watch so many of your episodes where the home is so much more than a house to the people you interview

That is one of the nicest houses I have ever seen.
Kudos to Ju Tan.
How many cats live there, I wonder.
Soooo beautiful....stunning...INCREADIBLY inspiring...thanx for shareing💜
Thank you so much, Kirsten! I’ve been a fan since 2013. This build is inspiring! From “bad feng shui” to awesome!

Wow, finally a real house make for people living in there. This guy is my hero, incredibly wise and humble at the same time. Nice work.

Well done Ju! Loved all your small touches and recycling themes like the garage door with double vents etc. A real labour of love!
I will build something like this one day. Love the shapes, colours and practicality elements. Little masterpiece.
Ju Tan sees beauty or potential where others do not and turned that lot into something beautiful. He probably bought it cheap but now that property is worth so much more. BTW he is from the beautiful island city of Singapore ~ he has that unmistakable singaporean accent.
This house has so many good vibes, thoughts and labor, wish it was mine
A warm and inviting home indeed but it's Ju's problem solving vision that impresses me. Would love to be friends with this charming couple.
Thank for the tour of your fascinating house that you put so much of yourself into. Beautiful!
I like all the warm and natural colors. Again, good use of the drone for establishment shots and a birds eye view of the house.
Never forgotten the lit sacks on the roof edges which are beautiful and magical in the evenings. And as a builder in a non-freezing climate, how deep the water valves were in the street was a revelation...
Lovely and unique...plus beautiful and relaxing. Congrats.
This is an amazing house. Ideas and choices so simply made, executed and beautifully explained. Great that they don't need air con. The skylights worked really well and the lighting was fun and whimsical. I'd be almost living on that roof I think!
Wow what a beautiful home and lots of love and care went into it. Like the way it blends in with nature also.😎
Good job Mr. Tan! You have a very cool home. I appreciate your knowledge on adobe R values and the thoughtful mix of traditional and modern.
This family has beautiful creativity. 🌺🌻🏵️
I ❤️ NM. Hope to see more houses from this area. There are so many interesting houses there.
Ms. Dirksen thank you for such an incredible time journey to nature.
Amazing craftsmanship!
My first project as a contractor was for a prominent Reno art dealer who wanted a Pueblo style house. It was much like this house, a stuccoed wood frame structure. Ceilings were tradition Vegas and latillas imported from New Mexico by the owner. Floors were all brick.
Seeing this nice project bought back a lot of old memories for me.
It’s another “sad” autospell event... vigas (my autospell wanted to change it to Vegas, as well). I lived outside Santa Fe [in Eldorado]. 20 years Albuquerque (youth thru college at UNM), Corrales, Alamogordo, Las Cruces and returned to purchase a home in the Rio Grande Conservancy District of ABQ. Sandia High graduate.
Even though I’d been all those places in NM, it wasn’t until the Eldorado home, with vigas, latillas, saltillo tile floors, and where we had a kiva fireplace did I learn how to build a “proper teepee” fire. I loved seeing it again.
New Mexico is ethereal and this video completely embodies it.
I love this style so much. What an extraordinary place to live, so calm and tranquil.
I absolutely love your channel Kirsten! I’ve been following you for years and your videos never disappoint! You always find the most interesting dwellings and your mini docs cannot be beaten. Seriously, you are amazing! ❤
A very good job and a fine man with a good talent and mind well done from down under
Wow. a stunning yet comfortable building.
I'm from Santa Fe and this is one of the greenest and best homes there. 👏
Not my style at all...but wow, such a cozy, inviting space. I am not sure if the warmth comes from the home or the lovely couple...maybe both. Such a lovely, gifted and creative man.

He only has rudimentary skills? His skills are amazing. This home is perfect! Wonderful video.

Clever. The timber work is exceptional.
