    Stephen Samuelson                   

Stephen co-founded Studio Arquitectura in Santa Fe in 1989.  Prior to its formation, he worked for years on design/build projects after his move from Boston to New Mexico in 1979.  His years as a master carpenter in New England have given Stephen a true appreciation for high quality, hand-built structures and interior spaces.  These aspects are evident in his work in Santa Fe and around the world.
