Custom Fireplaces-
The earthen fireplaces handcrafted by New Mexico Earth Works are each unique and customized for their location. This free form fireplace, for example, is the centerpiece of a large contemporary great room. Outdoor dining pavilions are another opportunity for a striking fireplace. More traditional homes often have custom kiva-style fireplaces inside and outside as well as hornos for cooking bread. We can even restore historic fireplaces.

Lime and Earthen Plastering
New Mexico Earth Works has deep and unique experience with traditional lime plasters and other earthen plasters. They provide excellent protection to interior and exterior structure and insulate building components. They also provide a vast array of interesting textures and colors. NEW works with a wide range of formulas to achieve special textures and colors for each surface. Earthen plasters are also attractive because they are less toxic and energy intesive than traditional wall coverings and are generally easily repaired.
