Engineered for New Mexico's conditions
Every Kyrax home shipped to New Mexico is sized to the actual code and climate values for your site — not a generic climate package.
Desert-climate homes feature radiant barrier roofing, reflective cool-wall finishes, oversized cooling systems, and shaded porch options. Low-water landscaping guidance and greywater-ready plumbing available for properties under drought restrictions. For New Mexico specifically, engineering follows a 18-inch frost depth, ground snow loads in the 0–50 psf (Sangre de Cristos) range (ASCE 7), design wind speeds of 95–115 mph, and Seismic Design Category B–D (Rio Grande Rift). These numbers drive real choices — foundation depth, roof framing, wall sheathing thickness, and hurricane strap density are all sized to your specific NM lot.

How tiny homes are classified
Secondary dwelling or ADU with municipal review, or THOW under RV/park-model classification
State-specific note
Santa Fe's historic district has unique adobe-style design requirements; Albuquerque permits detached ADUs by-right in most R-zoned areas.
ADU rules vary by municipality. Urban centers generally permit backyard units and secondary suites; suburban and rural areas range from permissive to restrictive. Tiny homes on foundations are evaluated under the International Residential Code (IRC), which covers homes 400 sq ft and under via Appendix Q. Movable tiny homes may fall under RV, park-model, or specific local rules. Check with your local building department for specific setback, size, and utility requirements. In New Mexico, the applicable framework is the 2018 IRC (New Mexico Residential Code). Santa Fe's historic district has unique adobe-style design requirements; Albuquerque permits detached ADUs by-right in most R-zoned areas. Classification here is typically: Secondary dwelling or ADU with municipal review, or THOW under RV/park-model classification.
Before you order: these are general frameworks — your specific lot, local amendments, and utility situation determine the actual permits you'll need. We'll help you confirm the details for your exact address during quoting.
