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.

LIME RENDERING THE EXTERIOR OF THE ROUNDHOUSE


The heavy rain we experienced in January made us realize that the earth render we had applied to the external walls of the Roundhouse wasn't going to keep the rain off, even if we did paint with limewash.

So we decided to use lime render mixed with sand to provide a breathable barrier against the elements.

David worked around the house, gradually transforming the earth walls into creamy white.
