Gayla Bechtol joined Devon Jackson on the “All Things Real Estate” radio show to talk about her work, her long relationship with Santa Fe’s architectural landscape, and the ideas that continue to shape her practice.

They covered everything from Gayla’s early influences to the ongoing questions she explores in her HOME Magazine column: Urban Sense on how we live, how we build, and how architecture can honor both history and everyday life.

The episode aired November 15-16. You can listen in at gbasantafe.com/community.
We hope you’ll tune in for a thoughtful conversation about design, place, and the spirit of Santa Fe.
