The two main volumes, as well as the catwalk that connects them, fly over the lot creating large covered patios. The original topography of the land has been preserved to the full and the house barely touches the ground.

Surrounded by greenery, it overcomes the difference in level of more than a 100 feet between the sidewalk and the end of the batch. This rout leads first to the atrium, a large space under the social area which unveils an incredible view, and from there it is possible to access the house o... More

The client requested that the main spaces take part of the best views; the architectonic response was to propose spatiality where the user, the architecture, and the setting would dialogue.The lot finds itself on an elevated area bordering the city of Otavalo. The preponderating views are towards the east, gazing at the Imbabura volcano. This context marks the axis which organizes and builds the spatial Scheme.Found within the equatorial Andes, the site is very cold; this posed another important condition: to reduce incidence of the strong northern winds that flow throughout the year and the low temperatures without using electrome...

The striking and intriguing form that resulted, opened up opportunities internally to fold the requirements of the programme through the ground and first floors.The front elevation... More
