Artist Estella Loretto returned to her roots in the southwest and created a 5,000 sq. ft. pueblo style home for herself, her daughter and her art. Using traditional adobe architecture, Loretto created an open floor plan that is filled with comfortable furniture and Native American art.

When she first moved in, she had her brother carve the spirals in the center of the ceiling beams to represent new beginnings. Some of the windows are designed to look like four pointed stars depicting the four directions, which is a signature symbol on all of Loretto's artwork. Loretto designed a 1,200 square foot studio to fit her needs.
