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 THE GARDEN WITH A DRY STONE WALL


 Rosando continues with the dry stone wall that will create a level terrace in front of the Roundhouse.


He builds steps leading from the upper level to the outdoor kitchen area below.

Here you can see the extent of the terraced section in front of the Roundhouse.

Dirt is brought in to backfill the wall.

Rosanda and his ayudante continue the wall to finish near the fruit and vegetable garden.

The terraced garden has broken up the large, steep slope and created a great vista from below.

A final touch, a stone seat similar the those in the village of La Caunette in France, where we used to live.

Our beautiful Peruvian Pepper tree brings some welcome greenery to the lower garden....

and frames the view towards the living room of the Roundhouse.
