Awesome adobe in far west Texas

Always wanted to live in an adobe casita way out West; Architect Craig Kinney and I created this guest house for the el Rancho Escondido.  The adobe construction was updated with 8 and 12-inch CMU blocks plastered with rough stucco. 

I chose Santa Fe-style detailing and copied a historical corbel bracket to top off the peeled log posts across the porch.  Large exposed metal straps with bolt heads are as rugged as western living and tradition.
