is a firm located in Santa Fe, New Mexico doing award-winning
work throughout the region. The office has received 16 awards from the American Institute of Architects in the past 7 years. We are a company that focuses on very
few projects for which we provide personalized superior services
to residential and commercial clients. Jon Dick, the owner, has previously worked alongside world-renowned architects on projects
of national and international reputation.
The firm is known for listening carefully to determine the needs
and desires of the client and then creating innovative architecture
to express the uniqueness of the client, their program and site.
As a result, the firm has been recognized for design excellence
having received numerous design awards and has been published in
books, magazines and newspapers throughout the industry.
"Archaeo", the Greek word for ancient, was chosen as
our firm name to signify the inspiration we derive from the very
early architecture found throughout the world and particularly the
southwest. It is our intent to seek out projects that focus less
on the "style" of architecture and more on the underlying
order that can be found universally in the ruins and ancient buildings
of the past. Our interest is in pursuing with our clients projects
where we can explore reinterpreting this vernacular while at the
same time providing the most up to date elements of present day
building and design.
The focus of our firm is to create inventive architecture that
addresses the requirements of contemporary life while also revealing
the mysterious poetic quality found in ancient architecture.
