Description

Haciendas features traditional and up to date hacienda architecture in Mexico and southwestern United States. Sumptuous photography portrays the increasing fascination with hacienda architecture today, as evidenced by the movement to renovate classic adobe homes, the abundance of new hacienda designs, and the inspiration Spanish colonial architecture provides to homeowners, designers, and architects world wide. The estate hacienda used to be traditionally the circle of relatives home for Spanish nobles in the newly settled Mexican territories and included farmed land, orchards, stables, livestock, and servants. These ordinary homes, many of which are owned by descendants of the original owners, are being meticulously preserved, or carefully transformed, into popular inns and tourist attractions. Today, the style is influencing residences all through North The usa.With more than 250 photographs, Linda Leigh Paul presents the most productive haciendas, representing past and present designs: From large country estates to small adobe hideaways, the rugged beauty, wealthy color palette, and natural materials of the hacienda are brought to life in a book that may be as delightful as a walk through the adobe arches and cool, tiled rooms of a Spanish colonial casa.
