Sometimes remodeling a home makes more sense than building from scratch, as in the case of our clients in Hermosa who love the view of the Animas Valley and towering red cliffs as well as the close proximity to the Dalton Ranch Golf Club. Although some demolition and aspects of the design had already been done for both the main house and guest house, once SM Built joined the team as the general contractor it became clear that a complete overhaul of the exterior and interior, down to the studs, was needed to ensure the home’s bones match the modern, efficient, and sustainable new design. The new show-stopping staircase was designed with an open concept in mind to add architectural interest and light in a dark corner of the house. All new windows, high-end finishes, extravagant tile selections, and custom details such as the walnut and steel hood vent come together to create a modern and elegant home.
