This is the fourth in a series of stories about the building
of an affordable, green house in Santa Fe
Getting closer to move-in time

By Paul Weideman
The Summa house project on Coyote Ridge Road is
looking more like a finished home. During a mid-October
visit, work had shifted to the inside. The exterior was
freshly stuccoed and as the property looked less like a
construction site, the close-in grape vines, trees, and
other intact plantings made obvious the care taken by the
builder, Dennis Niedermier, and his crew to build a house
with minimum disturbance around the perimeter.
He pointed out that the owner, Amy Summa, had
decided to add a little more construction time, and about
$5,000, to have 3-coat plaster on all interior walls except in
the bedrooms.
“It was an example of ‘What can I afford?’” he said.
“We’re doing that in-house. You can’t plaster until the
cabinets are in. The kitchen cabs come today and we install
them.”
Summa talked about the plaster and other materials
they had chosen, then enthused, “I will have an induction
cooktop in the island.” She looked at Niedermeier with a
hopeful smile as she added, “Believe it or not, I’m moving
in on Oct. 31.”
The Summa family — Amy and her daughter, Olivia;
and son, Spencer — have been living in their former New woodwork contrasts with a burned beam incorporated into a portal at the Summa house
studio/guest house for nearly 17 months, since fire

consumed their house on June 18, 2009. The previous
September 27, their husband and father, Henry Summa,
a renowned glass artist and volunteer in the Adaptive Ski
Program, died of cancer at age 59.
Amy Summa worked on the design for the new house
with David Tinker, the Albuquerque architect who
had designed their first house 18 years earlier. She and
Niedermier are going for the green on this one. Beyond
satisfying the city of Santa Fe’s Green Building Code, they
hope the house will earn a “Gold” certification from the
BuildGreen New Mexico program.
The house, about 1,964 square feet, is taking shape.
Besides the finished exterior, it’s getting easier to see the
layout of the interior spaces. The two larger rooms in the
house have mildly peaked ceilings, a nice aesthetic touch.
The windows, supplied by Sierra Pacific Windows,
bear “Sustainable Forestry Initiative” labels. According
to sfiprogram.org, that label “is a sign you are buying
wood and paper products from a responsible source.” The
initiative’s standard “is based on principles and measures
that promote sustainable forest management and consider
all forest values.”
Most of the floors in the Summa house are ceramic
tile, set in a Versailles pattern. The bedroom floors are

“In my old house, I had renovated the bedroom just
before the house burned down,” Summa said. “I had taken

out the carpet and put in engineered wood, plywood with

top veneer, and I was happy with it, but when I saw this fir,
just the feel of it, I loved it. It’s a little softer under foot.
“It has been really fun to be involved in building this
house, from the beginning with my old architect that built
our house, then with Dennis, who is very excited about
building and will talk your ear off about any element of it.
“It has been really satisfying, but also at times pretty
stressful. There are so many little decisions on the finishes.
The countertops... what kind of surface do I want? At
Michael Hurlocker’s house on the Parade of Homes this
year, he had honed Red Dragon granite and all of a sudden
it was like, ‘That’s what I have to have.’ But you get docked

score, because it’s mined far away and so transportation is
an issue, and granite is associated with radon.
“Also, this design is so open and to have such an intense,
strong surface would affect everything, every piece of
furniture, so I decided on a beautiful sandstone.”
“It’s all quarried and finished within 500 miles,”
Niedermeier said. “If you have granite from Brazil, what’s
the carbon footprint of getting it here? And most of these
sandstone quarries we use are on public lands and are
relatively small and worked by hand and then they’re
refilled and revegetated.”
Countertops were a big decision. It’s one of those areas
bedeviled by variety and competing notions of practicality
and beauty. For the master bathroom, Summa was at first A glass-art piece by the late Henry Summa on a window in the studio
considering marble. Then she and her builder decided on a
sandwich of tempered glass with metal in the middle.
I noticed, and commented on, a door frame constructed
with rabbet and lap joints.
“It’s organic,” Neidermeier said. “If you’re thinking about
the best way to put the product together, you end up with
a house that works, and the whole process is sustainable
when you’re thinking about the carbon footprint and all
the products that go into it.”
The boiler he described as “95-plus percent modulating
and condensing. This is the smallest modulating
condensing boiler on the market: 50,000 BTUs. It has a
5:1 turndown ratio, which means it will operate efficiently
at 20 percent, which is where this house will be operated
much of the time.”
For the rooftop photovoltaic system, they’re using
Enphase micro-inverters. “It will come off the roof as AC.
There will be no large DC inverter,” he said. “This will be
an easily expandable system, so if Amy gets a bonus and
wants to add another panel to add another 250 watts, it will
be easy.”
Pretty soon — especially after the cabinets are installed
and walls plastered — Summa will start the process of
moving belongings out of the studio.
“Now that I’m getting closer to moving in... it’s been a big
focus for more than a year,” she said. “Having my husband
die and my kids go off to school, it’s like, OK, this is my
house. That’s the good news, and the bad news, because I’ll
be the only one here most of the time.
“I often wonder what would Henry think. Sometimes I
hear him saying, ‘You don’t need to spend money on that,’”
she laughed, “and sometimes I listen to him and sometimes
I don’t, just like when he was alive.”

Let’s
look
at
furniture
By Paul Weideman
Pacheco Park, the cluster of buildings developed in the
early 2000s on Pacheco Street, is a virtual design hotbed.
One of the many business there catering to aficionados of
architecture and design is Santa Fe Modern Home. Walk
in and check out the cool coffee table, consisting of a slab
of mesquite wood nestled into a notch on a thin, steel slab
bent to form both top and legs.
“I like the combination of modern and rustic,” said
owner Page Kelleher. The table is one of her own design;
she’s planning another that will show off a gorgeous hunk
of walnut from Silver City. Another of her tables, again
employing a mesquite top, is nine feet long and seats 12.
“I was a faux finisher for 25 years in San Francisco and I
decided to be a furniture designer when I moved to Santa
Fe,” Kelleher said, noting that many of the pieces in her
store are locally produced. Another is the chair with back
and seat of plexiglass, and arms and legs of Cochiti Lake
driftwood.
Several of the pieces in Santa Fe Modern Home come
from Gus Modern of Toronto. The company’s Delano
chair, based on a square, stainless-steel frame, looks
fashionably slumpy and offers perfect comfort. The elegant
“Return Bench” from Gus is just a long, flattened beam of
zebrawood, which appears to float between square-ring
legs of stainless steel.

ACC offers complimentary design services to clients. A
common request involves adapting — through upholstery,
for example — furniture from a former home in, say New
York or California, to Santa Fe. Fenton said the “Santa
Fe Style” paradigm is “much broader than it’s sometimes
perceived” and will accommodate a wide variety of
furnishings. But if it’s too much of a clash, ACC can help.
The Cerrillos showroom has one piece that anticipates
that strategy: a chair whose chrome frame screams
“midcentury modern,” but that has been re-upholstered
more in line with the earthy Santa Fe palette.
Looking around ACC, you can also find an antique tea
tray from England; wall pieces including colorful Asian
garments in frames; antique chests from Hungary; and
fireplace tools, both original and reproduction pieces.
The owners of ACC are Chip and Leslie Livingstone.
She is also the store’s buyer, responsible for such interesting
pieces as the European-style chair with naked webbing on
the back.
“This is a reproduction made to look deconstructed,”
Fenton said. “It pays homage to the types of antiques you
might find in a quaint antique shop in Paris. This is a trend
in the design world.”
