A deep-rooted style originating in New Mexico and Arizona, Pueblo Revival architecture borrows heavily from the dwellings of Pueblo Indians, with additional influences from Spanish settlers. History of the American Southwest can be traced in earthen materials and hues used in the structure and design of the homes.

The distinct pueblo style came to prominence in the region as not only a nod to Native American heritage, but as a means of coping with the hot climate – and doing it with subdued flair. Sheltered courtyards incorporate outdoor living and casual lifestyle, while thick walls serve as great insulation from the elements. Exteriors seek to imitate the appearance of traditional adobe construction, though in some new construction modern materials including brick and stucco are substituted – with rounded corners and thick walls used to simulate the traditional style. Additional features of Pueblo Revival homes also include:

• Exposed timbers
• Massive wood features
• Rounded walls with square windows
• Flat roof with no overhang
• “Canales” to redirect water
• Natural shapes

Though origins of the style date back to the turn of the 20th century, new luxury homes showcasing Pueblo architecture remain popular throughout the region. The foothills of Tucson provide a perfect backdrop for homes of this style, and a custom home in the exclusive Cobblestone community offers stunning proof. The property is accessed through a private courtyard with water feature leading to the interior with natural tones and textures, along with wall niches to display artwork. In the resort-like pool area, wooden supports or “vigas” – another signature of the style – jut out beyond the flat roof. Blending seamlessly with its environment, the home has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and is currently listed at $1.149 million.

Just outside of Taos, New Mexico, this luxury Pueblo Revival style home rests on expansive desert acreage and is filled with the finest finishes. Multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces flow seamlessly, with a relaxing pool and spa on the exterior and interior with muted tones and striking exposed timber ceilings. The 6 bedroom, 6 bath home is listed at $3.275 million.
