Lajitas Adobe



As an architectural photographer, occasionally you get a real treat and an opportunity to photograph a truly unique home. This 600 square foot adobe house is off the grid in Lajitas, Texas and is self-sustaining. All construction materials, including doors and windows, were either taken from the site or made in nearby Ojinaga, Mexico. Electricity is generated via solar and wind and water is provided by two 1800 gallon rain catchment tanks. Perched on a cliff, the owner affords beautiful views of mountains to the east.
