ABSTRACT
The Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm is the result of the work of several architects, landscape architects, and numerous artisans whose work spans 90 years on the historic agricultural land near Albuquerque, New Mexico. The current owners hired Moule & Polyzoides to develop a master plan for the property, renovate the historic John Gaw Meem-designed buildings, and design new guest rooms on the property. Atkin Olshin Schade Architects was brought in later to increase the number of guest rooms and add new amenities. Los Poblanos is a place of respite from contemporary society, where guests can enjoy the food harvested through sustainable agriculture and regenerative farming and rebuild a relationship with the landscape. The intention is to preserve this place for future generations using an integrated business model that includes a farm, restaurant, hotel, and event spaces that all honor the heritage of the place and the people who have lived on this land for thousands of years in agrarian societies.
