would look good in the centre of any room, however, it also
provides a much deeper conversation and approach to the natural and
built environment."

"The final volume of author Helen Thompson's "Modern" trilogy
arrives filled with the sort of comfortably contemporary homes and
lean interiors the author is known for finding, exploring and
deconstructing for our voyeuristic delight. But most exciting, this
is the first book-length overview of modernist and contemporary
architecture and interiors in the city best known for its historic
adobes."
--360 West "Santa Fe Modern is the first to illustrate how
architectural ideas that are both new and ancient have redefined
the city and its culture."
--Modern Luxury Interiors Texas "Forget Palm Springs--Santa Fe is
the new mecca for modern architecture. A new book argues that the
artsy town is now an architectural powerhouse."
--Bloomberg Pursuits "Writer Helen Thompson pays tribute to both
the ancient and the modern--and the special alchemy that occurs
when the two meet--in this celebration of New Mexico homes, the
third work in a trilogy."
--Elle Decor "Fans of Santa Fe, N.M., are sure to embrace
architecture writer Helen Thompson's newest book. . . . Thompson
and Dunn capture both the sense of place and the sense of style of
Santa Fe."
--Houston Chronicle "As any design-lover can tell you, Santa Fe has
striking contemporary architecture that stuns amid the high desert
setting and traditional adobe structures. This hardcover celebrates
that design heritage, with a look at the destination's rich history
and the architects who have found a place in it."
--Conde Nast Traveler "The perfect coffee table book, and one that
they'll actually read."
--Camille Styles "If you are a lover of all things Southwestern,
this book will warm your heart faster than a kiva fireplace."
--Wall Street Journal "As any desert dweller knows, the landscape's
saturated sunsets and botanical austerity create an ideal backdrop
for a variety of architectural styles. In Santa Fe, architects have
responded with designs that are rooted in tradition yet also
forward thinking in execution. The result is an architectural
authenticity captured in Santa Fe Modern: Contemporary Design in
the High Desert."
--Luxe Interiors + Design "How to live high in Santa Fe: a look at
stunning modern homes in the desert city."

--Hollywood Reporter "A go-to tome for high desert dreaming."
--Southwest Contemporary "Finally, fans of this subject matter can
rejoice with the launch of Helen Thompson's handsome and tasteful
latest project, Santa Fe Modern."
--Hyperallergic "Paired against the ruggedness of the desert and
traditional adobe homes, the modern architecture of Sante Fe is
striking--a dichotomy author Helen Thompson and photographer Casey
Dunn beautifully capture in Santa Fe Modern. With every page,
you'll find yourself more entranced by architects' use of the
landscape to inform--and stand in contrast to--each design."
--House Beautiful "A survey of architecture and interiors from this
richly layered New Mexico town."
--Magnolia Journal "As an extra treat, the center of the book
comprises a 16-page caption-free portfolio of black-and-white
photographs of the splendid natural environment that enfolds these
splendid houses. What's not to like?"
--Interior Design "The book looks at the series of modern designs
that, along with its beautifully arid surrounds, define the
landscapes of Santa Fe."
