The personal vacation retreat that the late Myron Goldfinger designed for himself in New Mexico in 1996 is now for sale for $1.69 million from Sotheby’s International Realty near Santa Fe. The property sits on 29 acres in Santa Fe’s Los Caminitos subdivision with 2,100 square feet and a one-bedroom/two-bath mix in an open floor plan. Goldfinger’s design reflects the "intuitive" sensibilities endemic to local Southwestern art-making traditions that he found upon relocating to the area later in life. Goldfinger died last July 20th at the age of 90 after earning acclaim through his many private residential designs in the New York City suburbs.

Very nice little house.
Nicely done expansive space, a Southwest glass house done well with a fitting prefab form on that site. I think it's from a good architect. I am curious about its heating and cooling performance and if they had remote solar panels. Over there, it gets very hot and very cold. But so what, you get used to it! Yes, I want to buy it...
My friend from NM called it Adobe Airstream.., and added, "the idealized roof is actually really hard to waterproof for longer than a year or two." ...The deal is off.:(
Orhan just build a big canopy over it like at the ruins of Casa Grande.
That's it. I like the adobe trailer part. I love the coverage here. I worked on this in earlier times when I was part of the "loose federation." https://www.bamcdi.com/sternberg
The wall thickness and big ribbon windows Goldfinger did here makes me think the house is clad in either a stucco or elastomer over some kind of stud framing system. An adobe house would have much thicker walls and punched windows.
Oh, I don't think it's adobe at all, is it? I don't think the listing said that, or maybe I missed it because I was looking at pretty pictures. I'm sure it's studs & stucco.
And I can't imagine Mr. Goldfinger had to spend anything like $1.6 million to buy the property and build this in the 1990's. Today's distorted real estate market is crazy.
More Quonset hut than airstream, no?
