Project size: 6,500 square feet
Program: The client commissioned a single-family house in a lush setting.
Location: Nayón, Quito, Ecuador
Solution: The project is located in a green area just minutes away from the urban center of Quito. The house was designed to accentuate the site’s natural topography as well as its flora and fauna. Three connected volumes are arranged around a central courtyard area. The first volume, located along the street, forms the front of the property and contains all the social spaces. A second volume, distributed in two floors and located perpendicular to the first one, consists of family and private spaces. The third volume is a study that overlooks the main courtyard. A continuous exterior path winds around the whole house.
Construction and materials: The structure is composed of concrete slab walls and ceilings, and steel columns. Fully glazed windows wrap the volumes.
