All the different angles, high ceilings, southern exposure to the sun, materials of wood and stucco, and all the various little niches, kiva openings, and unique art, make for an interesting place to dwell. The house became the place for “opposites”- high and low, dark and light colors, old and new materials,
So many interesting phenomena happened in the “light and space” of the house, that it became a marvel to observe and experience. For example, the magic rainbow colors appear around the room. We have seen the moon from every window. Twice, we have been “moonstruck” while lying in bed. Once we had the sun from the east window shine directly on the sun face on the west wall. And there are always wonderful shadows bouncing off the organic, undulating stucco walls of the straw bales.
