So you think you want a Southwestern Style Home.

Southwestern architecture is distinct and a definite departure from the typical architecture types in the United States.

Southwestern Style Architecture is a distinctly different type of home style, generally finished in stucco or adobe.

Included in this realm are styles such as:

• Hispanic Adobe
• Spanish Mission
• Monterey
• Pueblo or Santa Fe
• Spanish Colonial
• Mediterranean
• Southwest Territorial
• Santa Barbara
• Spanish Eclectic
• Hacienda
• Spanish Charmer
• Log Cabins (Ok, so not exactly a Southwestern Home Style, but take a look anyway.)

All Southwestern architectural styles tend to mimic the surrounding terrain, incorporating earthtones and softly muted colors. Spanish style homes, including Mediterranean and Spanish Mission make use of Spanish tile for roofs. These help to reduce the effect of the summer heat.

The flat-roofed Santa Fe types of homes derived their origins from the Native Americans, who built their homes of mud and straw in the earliest forms of adobe. This style was adapted and improved upon by the Spanish and later became some of our Pueblo and Hispanic Adobe styles.

Be sure to explore our pages on these various Southwestern styles. You are sure to find one, or a combination of several that will please you and your family.
