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 CEILING OF THE LIVING ROOM



The ceiling area in the round living room consists of eight wedges between the wooden beams. Each wedge is filled with 15 cm thick foam insulation which has to be cut to size and wired into place.



The insulation and plastering of each wedge has to be undertaken on the wooden scaffolding tower, which has to be moved around the living room.



In the photo above the three layers of roofing can be seen - in the middle wedge is the concrete roofing panel, to the left is the foam insulation and on the right is the completed plasterwork.



The finished roof with electrical wiring for installation of lighting at a later date.

Work on the living room is suspended for the time being as we focus on completing the rest of the house to give us a space in which to live.
