A Southwestern dwelling is a type of traditional home found in the southwestern United States. It typically consists of two main components: a Pueblo, which is a multi-story structure made of ADOBE bricks, and an ADOBE, which is a single-story structure made of ADOBE bricks. The Pueblo is usually built on top of a mesa or hill, while the ADOBE is built on the ground. Both structures are designed to be energy efficient and provide protection from the elements.
