The Route 66
Corridor of
downtown
Winslow is zoned
for live/work
occupancy, and
this zone includes
many historic
industrial
buildings that
lend themselves
to an open loft
living space.

The 2,200 sq ft loft at
Snowdrift overlooks the
main exhibition space
and originally was used
as an Indian goods
retail and office space.
We removed the
majority of the rooms in
the loft and created a
wide open space that is
ideal for displaying
large works of art and
for entertaining large
groups of people.

Below the loft area we
have converted a
series of rooms that
were once used for
storage into an in-line
kitchen, den, office
and library. The
smaller downstairs
rooms are more
economical to heat in
the winter.

This system of living
means that we spread
out and entertain in
the large spaces
during the summer
and then "hibernate"
in the smaller rooms
for the winter. Its an
interesting way to live
in that you are
regularly redefining
your living space, and
as a result,
reassessing that
space each season.

The price for having the
luxury of space is that
you have to maintain it.
The maintenance on
the roof alone costs a
significant amount of
time and money every
year. However there are
moments that make it
all worth while,
moments like watching
a sunset while relaxing
on the roof, with the
San Francisco Peaks
and Hopi Mesa spread
out before you.
