Architectural Features of Pueblo House Plans
- Stucco Exterior
- Round Organic Structure
Southwest Pueblo style house plans are based on the large, multi-family houses built by the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona and adapted by the Spaniards in the 17th and 18th centuries. Rooted in the red earth they're fashioned from, these distinctive adobe and adobe and stone homes feature round edged walls, stepped levels, flat roofs with no overhangs and a parapet with spouts to drain rainwater. Inside their cool, dark interior, ceilings are supported by "vigas" or heavy timbers that act as main roof support beams. Deep simple windows and door openings and flagstone, brick or wood floors reinforce the cozy cave like ambience. Pueblo floor plans often feature a beehive corner fireplace, built in "bancos" or benches and wall niches to display religious icons. A natural choice for those who appreciate indigenous southwestern style, the Pueblo home is a snug, environmentally sensitive choice for families and individuals alike.
