Pueblo Revival
Pueblo Revival is a style of architecture unique to the Southwestern United States that is inspired by the design of Spanish and Native American pueblos characterizing the area since the eighth century.
While Pueblo Revival is mostly found in New Mexico, particularly in cities such as Santa Fe, the design can also be found in neighboring states, such as in Phoenix, Arizona.
This architectural style is mainly characterized by the use of adobe to construct buildings, which leads the overall appearance of blending in with the surrounding rocky landscape.
Pueblo Revival buildings also include flat roofs, large rounded walls and heavy wooden doors. Vigas - heavy timbers - visibly protude through the outside walls of the building and serve to reinforce the roof. The color palette for the Pueblo Revival architectural style draws heavily upon colors found in the area: tan, dark/brick red, brown, yellow and white.
Not only do Pueblo Revival buildings stand out as a style unique to the Southwest, but they also serve as very environmentally-conscious buildings.
