John Gaw Meem Architectural Design

Live in the manner of renowned Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem at Casa Tatum, Santa Fe vacation rental with Aqui Santa Fe.  His simple but elegant interpretation of pueblo design with earthen white against traditional adobe is its honest beauty.  Renovated by McDowell Fine Homes with consistent attention to detail so perfectly preserves the integrity of its original 1939 design.   A country setting just minutes from Museum Hill in the heart of Santa Fe assures close proximity to town but yet a bit off the beaten path across the road from Dale Ball Trailheads.  The peaceful land with a mountain view in the distance, the perfection of today’s modernization, and the quiet of country living provide the perfect respite.  The exterior landscaping is just as important with the generous courtyard complete with its own magnificent outdoor kitchen for casual entertaining.  Caress the warm breezes of summer on the west portal with a view of the mountains in the distance and walk the paths of this historical setting.

John Law Meem, Renowned Santa Fe Architect

John Gaw Meem came to Santa Fe seeking the healing virtues of the dry Southwestern climate, which many people with tuberculosis found to be a restorative cure. He thrived in New Mexico and is known for his pivotal role in shaping the Pueblo Revival Style of architecture, a design aesthetic that remains prevalent in Santa Fe homes Today. Meem is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential architects to have worked in New Mexico, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to define the region’s architectural landscape.

Meem was among the first architects to embrace Regionalism, a movement that would come to shape architecture in the 1920s and 1930s. Drawing from his more eclectic intellect, he combined traditional architectural elements such as battered walls, vigas, and stepped parapets with modern building techniques and materials, creating a unique aesthetic that evoked a particular mood without directly imitating the past. Meem later expanded his focus to the preservation of historic buildings, laying a strong foundation for his future architectural endeavors, many of which earned historic designation.

John Gaw Meem’s impact on Santa Fe was profound. Not only did he design some of the city’s most iconic buildings, but he also led the committee responsible for the 1957 Historical Zoning Ordinance. This pivotal law ensured that all future construction in central Santa Fe adhered to the region’s vernacular style.

While this strict adherence to a singular building tradition faced criticism in the “City Different,” Meem’s design principles continue to influence new developments in Santa Fe today.

What To Wear In Santa Fe Weather

Santa Fe is one of the best and hidden destinations in the Rockies, and we love having the opportunity to introduce guests to the beautiful place we call home. Its proximity to the Rocky Mountains and its higher elevation causes wetter, windier, and colder weather than much of the state. Even with the wide variety of weather Santa Fe experiences, it still gets 325 days of sunshine, making it the perfect place to visit year-round. From Spring to Fall, the city only gets an average of 14 inches of rain, so you can leave the umbrella at home! While snow might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of New Mexico, Santa Fe can expect around 32 inches of snow to fall in town throughout the winter and an average of 225 inches on the ski slopes just a short drive away. All of this results in a drier city that is easy to explore all year around. In the Summer, the weather rarely surpasses 90 degrees, and in the Winter, it can get a chill in the air, but we have an average of 42 degrees, making it pleasant to be outside during your stay.

 

Wondering what to pack for your visit to Santa Fe? Curious about suitable clothing styles?

It’s going to depend on the season, so keep reading to learn more.

 

Winter

Santa Fe has winter from late November and occasionally lasts until the end of March. These months can bring a variety of different weather patterns, such as thrifty fifty-degree days or chilly thirty-degree days. Make sure to pack warm clothes for your stay! Pay close attention to the daily forecast and keep a puffy coat, sweater, and some cords in your luggage, with maybe a hat and gloves. We don’t usually go to a full set of goulashes, but winter waterproof soft-soled shoes are a good idea.  The winter season presents an amazing time to explore various things to do in Santa Fe during Winter, like the ski resort lodging.

 

Spring

It is always a welcome Spring following the January-February winter season.  The last snow in March brings days of low humidity that struggle to trap heat. But come April and May we enjoy the sun’s warmth and pristine blue skies. From March to April we layer up and layer down depending on the day.  As we get closer to June, we are into summer ware.  

 

Summer

Summer is similar to spring because of Santa Fe’s high elevation and low humidity. Summer begins around Memorial Day. The days start and end cooler, but the days find their way around 80-90 Fahrenheit. During the Summer, we have a 30-day monsoon season, but we never know exactly what month it will arrive. The monsoons bring a wonderful refresh in the afternoon with temporary showers lasting twenty minutes to an hour. An extra layer of clothing or a sweater will keep you comfortable after the rain subsides and the temperature gradually declines. You may not need it but pack a raincoat if you plan on being out and about during the summer.  Aqui Santa Fe provides umbrellas for rain or shine.

 

Fall

The Fall is the most beautiful time of the year, with soft, mellow breezes and a golden brilliance from the trees.  October is usually warm, but as we approach November, you will be back into the layer-up and layer-down routine.  There is a definite chill in the air as we can get down to 40 degrees at night.  Warmer days land between 70-80 degrees and are perfect for exploring the city in comfy shoes.  After many years of walking on Santa Fe roads, I have found Rothy Shoes to be like Indian Mocassons….you can walk in them forever.  And, they take you shopping during the day and to to your favorite restaurant at night.
