Casa Horizonte sits on the coast of Manabí, Ecuador, as a house whose weight and quiet presence mark the threshold between land and ocean. JGStudio works with exposed concrete and measured sequences of rooms to frame the horizon, letting the sea arrive slowly through filtered light, compressed passages, and open terraces. The result is a coastal dwelling shaped as much by material and labor as by view and air.
AWAWA occupies a former textile factory in Quito, Ecuador, now home to the Interactive Science Museum, and is imagined by Morphism as a permanent, child-centered exhibition. Within this industrial shell, the project turns early education into a sensory journey, using narrative, material, and movement to connect young visitors with nature and the building’s past. Children and their companions move through environments shaped for play, discovery, and shared learning.
LH Residence sits in the Metropolitan District of Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador, as a single-family house by Side FX Arquitectura that treats density as a design prompt. The architects work between party walls and neighboring roofs to stage a gradual retreat from the street, drawing residents inward through courtyards and filtered thresholds until daily life settles around vegetation, daylight, and controlled privacy rather than the surrounding urban crush.
House 2.0 is a three-level house in Ecuador by CORREA+FATEHI ODD. The project reinterprets Andean vernacular with adobe made from on-site earth and rammed earth cuts that stage the approach. With a ventilated masonry skin that modulates temperature and light, the residence moves between solid and porous—by day a shaded monolith, by night a lantern—while a vertical living room eases circulation and expands daily use.
Riba House sits in Puembo, Ecuador, a two-level house by TEC Taller EC that takes its cue from a venerable carob tree at the site’s center. The bar-shaped plan wraps the tree to frame views toward Quito and the Andes, then loosens into a terrace that stretches the daily routine toward the horizon. Urban edge meets valley quiet here, and the plan mediates both with poise.
Casa El Pastizal is a house located in Machachi, Ecuador. Designed in 2022 by Diez+Muller, the project creates living spaces that are installed in the landscape, achieving a light and fluid spatial threshold that contrasts with the built mass of concrete. A materiality and construction system is chosen that allows the desired plasticity and versatility, that can contain the soil and adapt to the existing topography.
Hidden stone house is located in Quito, Ecuador, designed in 2021 by A1 Arquitectura Avanzada. This house employs Biomimetic Architecture, a line of advanced architecture that seeks to find sustainable solutions by analyzing nature. It incorporates a symbiotic architecture strategy that integrates with the environment, producing harmony and balance with the surrounding nature and architecture, generating unique sensory perceptions and spatial relationships.
Casa S is an inviting apartment with an inspiring concept that offers a welcoming, open space. Designed in 2022 in Quito, Ecuador by Quito-based practice #1028 Arquitectura y Paisaje, the residence follows a design style that conveys a playful romanticism of growing up through the use of industrial prefabricated elements and open floor plans.
