Ron Navratil owned his 11+ acre lot outside the town of Santa Fe for twenty
years before he decided to build a retirement home. I was commissioned
to design the home, assist Ron in managing the owner-builder style of
construction, and get involved on site as conditions and my abilities allowed,
up to certificate of occupancy. We quickly conceived a basic design which then
evolved over the two-year course of construction into the massively built
3-level home/studio/gallery/local landmark. I used the Autocad 3-D model to
generate construction and contract documents, material take-offs, and to
document and communicate design changes with the owner and the trades.
