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.

FINISHING OFF THE POOL


With the floor of the pool complete our workers quickly moved on to building the walls.

Wooden forms were placed on the inside of the reinforced steel and braced with posts to prevent collapse from the pressure of the cement.







The steps were lined with thin sheets of plywood and filled with cement.

David is starting the process of working the cement to a smooth finish.....












......and the result is perfect - a great place for our future guests to sit and cool off.

















Our maestro, Geronimo, surveys the pool once the posts and forms are removed. There is a bit of final polishing to be done, but our team have done an amazing job.
