The following five home styles are permitted in San Pedro Overlook:

Pueblo

The Pueblo style is based on the local Native American building type. Its look consists of an assembly of flat roofed masses surrounded by thick parapet walls. All surfaces and edges are rounded and irregular, creating an eroded look. Plans are generally rectangular, irregular and composed of many small offset parts. The wall colors are usually earth tones and enhance the organic feel of these buildings. Structures appear to be a naturally occurring part of their setting.

Territorial

The Territorial style is an architectural style that developed in the Southwest after the arrival of rail travel. This style is a variation on the Pueblo style and incorporates more refined detailing. Territorial style homes usually consist of flat roof masses with articulated parapet tops (usually in brick) or simple sloped gable roof, and incorporate machine-made doors, windows, wood and trim. Simple rectangular floor plans often have deep porches with relatively delicate wood columns.

Ranch

The Ranch is a classic regional style associated with the romance and settlement of the Southwest and New Mexico. The style is characterized by a low horizontal look with hipped or gable roofs with moderate to deep roof overhangs. The plans often incorporate enclosed courtyards or patios. These deep covered porches and verandas with wood columns provide protected space for outdoor activity.

Grand Lodge or National Park

The Grand Lodge style is a romanticized, rustic character that responds to the dramatic landscape of the West. This style usually incorporates heavy, locally available stone for foundations and fireplace elements to physically and visually ground the building to its site in a very organic manner. Grand Lodge architecture can often be seen with wooden beams in the roof and along porches.

Contemporary Pueblo

The Contemporary Pueblo architectural style refers to a building whose interpretive forms are historically or stylistically based on the vernacular local building type. The design may be an architect’s exploration of the vernacular style through the abstraction of its various elements and the integration of modern materials and technology to create a contemporary interpretation. The assembly and composition of a Contemporary Pueblo style may be flat roofed. Surfaces and edges may be sharper and regular, creating a clean and simplified look.
