Santa Fe Because of its location near Native American pueblo communities, Santa Fe has lent its name to this home style. These homes borrow architectural details from the earthen homes of early Native Americans and feature massive, round-edge walls, flat roofs, stepped levels, heavy timbers extending through the walls to support the roof, deep window and door openings and simple windows. They often feature a corner beehive fireplace, benches that are attached to the walls, niches for display of religious items, heavy wooden doors and enclosed courtyards. They are most popular in the southwestern United States.
