ABOUT SKY HACIENDA

June Donaldson and Edward Garry live at an altitude of 2,600 metres in Mosoj Llajta, Yotala, 20 minutes from the colonial city of Sucre in Bolivia, South America. Using earth and stones from the land, we have sculpted beautiful buildings which compliment the high desert landscape and incorporate creative and innovative elements of design.

We have designed a high quality hotel in Sucre for guests who want to get off the treadmill of travelling from city to city in South America. At Sky Hacienda you can dictate your own timing and choose how to enjoy your stay, whether it is doing very little or exploring the best that the Andes in Bolivia has to offer.

OUR FIRST BUILDING - THE SHED



We urgently needed a secure building to house our building equipment, tools and materials. So we used the first batch of adobes to build a shed and also to see how strong the walls would be. For the time being we decided to install a tin roof, sloping backwards to drain water into a large barrel.




The shed would also give us an opportunity to experiment with different types of rendering.
