These inland lots do not need house plans that are built with concrete blocks; therefore, we modify them to be built as wood frame construction.

Client update on house plan purchase The Yucatan Peninsula located in SE Mexico between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea enjoys a year round climate that is hot and humid.

Since Weber Design Group began designing homes over twenty years ago, we have seen many Architectural trends come and go, but West Indies is certainly making a strong impact especially on the coastal and inter-coastal communities here. We are also seeing this style being blended with the Key West Architecture that is not too far away.
