It’s not about color and luxury materials in this space, although it shines in those regards, too, with its warm, contemporary feel. In this primary bathroom, it’s all about the Build Green NM emerald certification—the highest level of certification available from the organization. “Our focus is on sustainability. This is a net zero home,” says Evan Kinsley, president and partner of Spiegel-Kinsley Construction. In the primary bathroom of this Placitas home, that means the builder included low-flow water fixtures with a recirculating system that provides near-instant hot water, saving up to 60 percent of usage. In addition to the green building elements, the space is gorgeous with white Shaker-style cabinetry, warm woodframed mirrors, contemporary black fixtures and a lavish extrawide and deep freestanding floating tub perfectly positioned to capture the mountain views.
