Hoguera de Madera
Hoguera de Madera is conceived as a shelter for a family who chooses to rethink their conventional way of living within the city. This reflection leads them to seek an alternative lifestyle, envisioning a space integrated with nature—a place capable of renewing and enhancing their human and professional qualities.
Located 6 km from the city of Puyo, in the province of Pastaza (Ecuador), the house is immersed in a natural environment, set on the edge of a ravine and defined by a small river. This body of water becomes one of the natural elements guiding the project.

The ground continually shifts between water and land, creating a dynamic terrain. Galgo Case 1 by BRUTO STUDIO responds to these conditions by positioning the house lengthwise, capturing the dual landscape, and maintaining a continuous relationship with the ever-changing environment.
