We have purchased six SW building plan books. This is one of the most useful.

However I just wished there had been more real life photos instead of the monochrome sketches to help actually visualize what the house would look like after construction. Definitely useful for someone planning to build adobe style.

It’s the best I’ve found for true SW style homeplans, but many of the plans are not SW — just houses with tile roofs. They’re all 2,000 sq. ft & up, many twice that size, which puts them out of reach for me (too expensive to build)

Although the book does have a few Pueblo-style plans like those featured on the front and back cover, very little of the book is devoted to them. Most of the houses it contains are what I would term as fairly traditional, nonsouthwestern houses; their tile roofs seem to be the basis for their inclusion. I have yet to find a good collection or two of southwestern plans. Most of the floor plans were unappealing to me as well.

If you are looking for a book with ideas of “pueblo style” or southwestern adobe style homes, this is not it. The cover is misleading, leading you to believe this book contains many if not all, this style. There are only a few (count 3 or 4) plans in the true pueblo style.
