Architecture

Adobe homes are all unique, below are some examples.

A Territorial style Weir Brothers Adobe.  This is the view after you walk through (what you think is) the front door.  You’re in a beautiful courtyard, with a garage/workshop entry and casita entry to the left, a pool built around a boulder, and the main living structure to the right (out of view).

The inside front courtyard of a Jack Weir Adobe.  Note the use of Old Mexico Tecate Tile on the roof, all hand mudded (cemented), for an irregular, vernacular look.

The beams and massive iron tie-in plate of an entryway rotunda of a Patterson adobe…

And the spiral staircase and floor underneath.

The dining area, wet bar, step down living room, and “rock sofa” of a Larry Weir adobe.

The bathtub of a Larry Weir adobe.  The step down, open shower is to the right, behind the bricks.

Dining area of a Larry Weir Adobe, originally with an open ceiling and a Jacuzzi in the floor.

Living room of a Larry Weir “Storybook style” Adobe.

Indoor grill and kitchen of the same Larry Weir Adobe.

Front door of a Larry Weir adobe, framed with 3″ hemp rope.  This home also has a rustic Old Mexico hand mudded (cemented) Tecate Tile roof.

Larry Weir always incorporated rounded architectural elements into his work.

Larry also sourced unique custom hardware and fixtures for his homes, this one being an iron and hardwood Chandelier made in Mexico.

The front entrance of an early Caladobe home, started in the late 1930’s, finished after the war in the 40’s.

Wagon wheels were often re-purposed as architectural accents in the yards of adobe homes, and also as windows.  Hand distressed doors and beams were an added feature.
