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.

THE MAIN ENTRANCE




The arch below the house will form the main entrance to the walled garden.












We are using a different technique to the other arches where we used plywood as forms. This arch is so heavy we have made a frame of handwired reinforcing steel which will be kept in place and rendered over.








It takes a lot of wooden scaffolding poles to support this heavy structure during its construction.
