Southwestern House Plans
Southwestern style homes are comfortable, eco-friendly and are especially practical in dry climates. Southwestern style homes are usually one-level and have flat roofs, covered porches and vigas (round log ceiling beams). Southwestern style home plans include a variety of other styles commonly referred to as Pueblo, Spanish Revival, Adobe or Mission homes. One thing they all have in common is they are typically found in the southwest, Texas and Florida and they all draw on the Spanish-Colonial style and architecture as well as Native American. The term “adobe” is often used in Southwestern design and refers to a Mexican home made of clay bricks. Many are asymmetrical in design with stucco walls over brick and irregularly placed windows. Southwestern style homes are a mixture of Spanish Colonial and Indian Pueblo architecture creating a truly unique combination; that perfectly suits the Southwest and New Mexico landscapes. |
