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.

TERRACING AROUND THE HOUSE

We continued creating terracing around the house to protect the foundations ahead of the rainy season.

The stones are collected from the land and sorted to provide a level surface before being covered with reinforcing steel and then concrete.









The terrace is designed to follow the contours of the land, whilst channeling water to drains.
















A view from the back of the house where water is already being channeled from the upper terrace to the gully below.










For now the terracing ends at the main entrance and will be completed once the pool is finished.
