We are a small, second generation, family-owned design firm and have designed custom, green homes for hundreds of wonderful clients around the US for almost 40 years from our home town, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Since receiving his architecture degree in 2007, Evan Davis, son of founder Jon Davis, has been lead designer and has run Sunlight Homes.
After growing up in the family business, designing and building custom green homes is in Evan's blood. He fully understands and appreciates the benefits of green architecture and knows first-hand the value of A Pattern Language design theory, having lived most of his life in various Sunlight homes that were designed using the Pattern Language approach.

A Sunlight home is a state-of-the-art, attractive, energy efficient, superior quality, green custom home. Sunlight homes are thoughtfully designed to fit the way you live, your building site and your budget.

A Sunlight home is a wonderfully comfortable, thoughtfully designed, energy efficient or zero energy custom home that is attractive and inviting both inside and out. Sunlight homes are designed in direct response to your personal design needs, aesthetic tastes, climate, topography and building budget.
When you sign up to work with us, the first thing we do is give you access to our online Pre-Design and Values Worksheets. Before we begin your custom design, we first need to get to know you and understand your needs and wants for your new home. Our worksheets are comprehensive and cover everything from how many and what type of rooms you would like, to your hobbies and future plans.
A fundamental component of our design philosophy at Sunlight Homes is designing with the sun; it's why we chose our name after all! Our homes are designed to welcome natural light where and when it is wanted and to shade spaces where and when it is not. All aspects of our homes are designed with beneficial natural light in mind, starting with the fundamental layout, orientation and massing.
If you've ever had the opportunity to wander through an old European or Asian village, you've probably experienced "the feeling". These villages, with their quaint cottages and lush gardens, plazas and outdoor cafes, exude a subtle but powerful feeling; indefinable in just one word. Christopher Alexander grew up in Europe with that "indefinable feeling."

We looked for several years trying to find an architect that would work with us on a design for our dream home. We really wanted to do passive solar home with post and beam construction and an emphasis on efficiency. In a Google search we finally found Sunlight Homes.

The design process was enjoyable with careful consideration to our wants and desires coupled with critical review to ensure design aspects were considered. Once the design

If there were more stars, I'd give Sunlight Homes and Evan Davis a 10!!! First of all, it is a sheer delight to work with Evan. He is nice, professional, down to earth, funny, smart, and just an all around great person. Not only is he a great guy but he is a fantastic architect- he is knowledgeable, creative, energetic, talented, and really listens to you about your ideas.
Then he transforms your ideas along with his expertise perfectly into the design. AND he is passionate about his job. He loves what he does and it shows in every aspect of your project.
It was so much fun working with Evan
