Conron & Woods Architects

Conron & Woods Architects was founded in Santa Fe in 1952 with a mission to serve public and private clients throughout the Southwest. The firm has a broad background working with public institutions, residential and equestrian clients, and commercial enterprises. Over the years, we have developed a specialization in historic preservation, museums, and other cultural projects. Our expertise in these areas has earned us a reputation for excellence and numerous awards.

Services

We offer a wide range of services including Architectural Design, Historic Preservation, and Interior Design. Our staff of architects, designers, draftsmen, and support personnel provide full architectural design services. We are experienced at assisting our clients in site evaluation and selection if the project requires it. Our design work begins by working with the project owner to develop a program and budget for the project. As the development of the design proceeds, cost estimates are continually updated. Whether for new construction or a renovation or addition, our approach to design is creative, collaborative, and proactive, as we meet present-day needs while helping the client plan for the long-range life of the building.

Historic Preservation

Conron & Woods has a unique expertise in historic preservation, working throughout New Mexico and in 26 other states. We have helped states and other municipalities, as well as private owners, to preserve and protect their historically significant structures. Preservation work involves a combination of science and sensitivity, requiring documentation, decision-making, working with local approval entities, designing for code compliance, and planning for on-going contemporary use. Our work in historic preservation has won numerous awards over the years.

Interior Design

Our interior design services range from equipping the modern office for business to designing custom furniture to outfit a traditional lodge building to selecting the fundamental interior finishes for all types of projects. Our preservation experience equips us for sensitive interior design for restoration projects. We also promote design choices for healthy interiors and sustainable design, including LEED certified projects. LEED is an independent rating program for sustainably designed projects, used by many public owners around the United States. The results are projects that are healthier, more energy-efficient, and more cost-effective to operate.
