Our Southwest house plans are designed with the American Southwest in mind, with natural materials and airy layouts perfect for the hot, arid climate. The history of this style goes back centuries, to when Spanish missionaries searching for gold instead came across the native Pueblo people, who built their homes in cubic shapes with adobe bricks and exposed wooden beams. Spanish missions across the region adopted the Pueblo techniques and merged them with architectural principles from their own homeland, creating a beautiful, balanced, and ultimately very practical style that stayed cool despite the blaring sun. This distinctive Southwestern construction merges ancient knowledge and classical looks, and it often includes patios and other breezy exterior spaces. These homes will fit right in from Arizona to Colorado, but fans of the style have happily spread it across much of North America. If you need assistance finding the perfect Southwestern house plan, please email, live chat or call us at 866-214-2242 and we'll be happy to help!
