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.

SHOWING OFF THE KITCHEN

The view from the kitchen sink.
After a year of running the kitchen from our utility room, complete with camping two-burner stove, our new, improved version was ready to function. 

For anyone who is passionate about food, designing their own kitchen is a dream come true.  True, I had to consider the logistics of catering for large numbers of guests but in that regard it just meant a bigger area for plating up, which was fine by me.   If you were to mentally divide the circular living room into three wedges, the kitchen would form one wedge, leaving plenty of room for dining and relaxing. 
Ed's design feature in the countertop.
The  big double sink - perfect for burying dirty dishes for a while.

The vegetable sink.

Below the hob are two built in ovens.

This side of the island is the bar, complete with niches for stools.

We still had to install the cooker hood ventilation system, but that would have to wait until the mezzanine floor had been installed.
