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 THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR

 With the countertops buffed, treated with double boiled linseed oil and two coats of wax, we were able to complete the last segments of the living room floor.
 The rich black concrete was carefully levelled out.
And as can be seen from this photo shot from the mezzanine, the concrete dried to a steel grey colour.
 A great view of the kitchen area.  Notice June admiring the new countertops at the top of the photo.
There were still the sinks to install and taps to plumb in, but with the floor completed we were at last able to plan our move into this part of the house, ten months after we had first started living in the Roundhouse.  And a very timely completion too as my brother and his wife were soon to arrive from Australia for a visit.
