THE MAGEE DESIGN WORKS TEAM
Magee Design Works is a high-performance residential design/build firm, located in Taos and focused on resiliency, climate-responsiveness, low waste, and long-term sustainability.
For almost 50 years, the Magee name has been synonymous with high-end custom homes. Jed Magee started building alongside his father while still in high school. He earned an architecture degree at the University of New Mexico and worked with other firms in Albuquerque and Taos before founding his own business in 2008.
Magee Design Works has a team-based approach, rooted in transparency, mutual admiration, and collaboration. We partner with the most talented and dependable architects, interior designers, builders, vendors, engineers, and subs. This ensures a consistent, detail-oriented outcome that honors our regional history and our natural environment.
In the past five years, we’ve built more homes in Taos Ski Valley than any other builder. This means we craft beautiful homes at top elevations, to withstand a harsh winter climate. You can find us at the intersection of high-tech engineering, efficient materials, creative problem-solving, and encyclopedic local knowledge.
We are committed to high performance design that will enhance our shared community.

I have two biological brothers and if there is a such a thing as a non-biological brother Dominic is it!
Dominic owns Duran Construction. His specialities range widely from precision heavy equipment operator, concrete, welding and general construction. Not only can he do it all himself Dominic employs a ten plus team of talented guys that we lovingly refer to as the “Duranimal’s”.
I’ve known Dominic since we were kids and I’ve never built anything without him.
Not only is Dominic my go to for getting the the big stuff done, he’s also on the short list of people I’d trust my families life with. Seriously!
Dominic works hard on the big machines and plays hard on his Harley, ATV’s and snowmobiles. He has a teenage son and is a recent father to an adorable baby boy with his lovely lady, Amanda.

DERRIC DUMRESE
Derric Dumrese is the owner of All Current Electric.
Derric is a hardworking genius, professional on a level that is foreign to Taos, he is totally capable, forever reliable, and he instills a level of confidence that helps me sleep at night, and no matter what challenges are in his path he is always cool as cucumber.
I’ve worked with Derric for 5 years and I’ve never seen him sit down or eat, sometimes I wonder if he’s human.
He’s married to Lillian, has three young boys and lives in a new house that he recently built for his family.
JOSH VORNDRAN
This is Josh Vorndran-owner of Snowline Build Group. Josh heads up our Taos Ski Valley unit and applies High Performance standards to both work and play; when he’s not producing super tight rough framing, stylish finishes, and sound structures, he can be found laying down big ski turns on our world-class mountain or clocking long miles on his bikes on any of our epic single tracks.
In addition to holding it down for us in TSV, Josh is known for heading out on quick turn around install missions with our pre-fab friends at Collective Carpentry in places like Olympia WA and Jackson Hole WY.
Josh’s near term goals are finding a great piece of Taos dirt to build his own stylish home.
