Southwest Contemporary
Southwestern Contemporary home designs are influenced by the early Pueblo home styles with their flat roofs, adobe walls, and heavy timbers. You'll also find Southwestern Contemporary examples suggestive of the Mission house style with its stucco walls, arched doorways, and roof parapets, as well as house designs that reflect the Spanish Revival style with its red roof tiles, decorative railings, and tiled courtyards. Not just any house plan will do in the Southwest, where the climate is hot and dry, and regional house styles define the landscape. Since the founding of Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1607, the Southwestern region of the United States has experienced a rich and varied history. Southwest Contemporary house plans combine local history with a modern aesthetic and updated constructions techniques to create a unique living environment.
