This is the final story in a 5-part series about the building
of an affordable, green house in Santa Fe
Summas warming up to new home

By Paul Weideman
Amy Summa is looking forward to fixing up the
area outside her new house in the springtime. There is
remarkably little evidence that this was a construction
site just two months ago, but there are things to do, a little
landscaping and cleanup here and there.
The house is a jewel, sporting shiny, multi-coat plaster
walls under gently peaked ceilings; Versailles-pattern tile
floors; and details in maple and sandstone; all within a
handsome, energy-efficient form that’s expected to earn a
BuildGreen New Mexico “Gold” certification for Summa
and her builder, Dennis Niedermier.
The house she and her husband, Henry Summa, built in
1991 burned down in a fire inadvertently started by roofers
on June 17, 2009. Henry, who was a renowned glass artist,
had died nine months earlier at age 59, a victim of cancer.
After the fire, the studio/guest house served as home for
Amy and her daughter, Olivia, and son, Spencer.
The new-house project began by renewing the
relationship with David Tinker, who served as architect-
builder on the original house. After plans were drawn and
Amy Summa selected Niedermier as the contractor, she
hoped construction could begin in February 2010 and that
the family could move in by early summer.
As it turned out, they didn’t have a building permit in
hand until mid-March, and move-in took place on Dec. 11.
Part of the delay can be attributed to early overoptimism
and part to decisions like the one to finish all interior walls
except in the bedrooms with beautiful but time-consuming,
hard-troweled plaster.
“That was a big deal,” Niedermier said. “It added weeks
to the job and it put other stuff on hold because it’s a mess.
In building, one thing affects everything else.”
Summa said some decisions about the project came very
quickly but others were complicated, like the countertops.
Seeing different types of tops in the houses she visited in
August’s Haciendas - A Parade of Homes didn’t help. She
was particularly moved by the Red Dragon granite she saw
in one kitchen.
“At one point,” she said in retrospect in mid-January, we
were going to do plate glass in the bathrooms, but it was
very expensive. We actually ended up using the kitchen
counter from our old house, which we had in storage in the
garage. It’s a bright turquoise color and I remember being
shocked that Henry picked something so colorful.”
Another singular top in the house is the 6-centimeter-
thick slab of Utah sandstone on the kitchen island. The
island is in shape a spacious rectangle with the long,
outside edge rounded and holds a cooktop with both
