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.

GARDEN AND BOUNDARY WALLS


Once the dome was completed it was time to start filling in the gaps between the gate posts and the dome, between the dome and the yet-to-be-built archway that would form the main entrance to our house and then on to join up with the boundary wall. In this way we would create a walled space inside our vast parcel of land.

The narrower wall enabled us to use just one row of adobe bricks.

At the same time, we had to start the task of continuing the boundary walls around the property.

We had one team employed building the stem walls.....

following another team ahead of them who were digging and building the foundations.

It was going to be a long haul to wall in our property.
