House in the Forest (Casa en el Bosque), designed by Gabriel Rivera Arquitectos, is nestled within a forest of acacia and eucalyptus trees, adapting to the terrain's topography and respecting the surrounding nature. From the project's inception, the architecture team aimed to design a home that would not only meet the practical needs of a young family with two small children but also stimulate the senses and the mind, becoming an inspiring space.

Picadero / Gabriel Rivera Arquitectos

El Picadero is located in the Andes Mountains, in the province of Cotopaxi, Ecuador, in the Tanicuchí Parish. Located in Lasso, the project sits in a rural area dedicated to agriculture and cattle raising. Due to its proximity to the Cotopaxi volcano and Los Ilinizas, it is characterized by a cold climate, sandy soil and Andean vegetation, where eucalyptus trees, which are not native, have spread throughout the area. The 5,000 m2 rectangular lot, is full of eucalyptus trees that paint the ground in reddish, brown and mustard colors when leaves fall. The main house is located on the east side of the lot, while the stables are located on the west side. The purpose of the commission was to develop an in-between space, considering the main house and the stables around it. A space composed of a jumping arena for horses, a service area, and a versatile space designed to change over time (initially a play area that is meant to evolve into suites and a common area).

Tucuri is an area located in Nayón, in the city of Quito. A fascinating place for its microclimate, fauna, flora and a privileged view of the Cumbayá Valley. The carob trees are the endemic trees of the sector and are everywhere; attracting an infinity of birds, that with their song, make anyone feel part of nature, a few minutes from the city. It is precisely in this place, where the Tacuri House is implanted and for which, it gets its name.

Located in Guayllabamba, place of warm weather and fertile land, G1 house is a composition of architecture and nature. An avocado tree (12 meters of height) is the “central node” or “start point” that helped us when placing the project in its site. Consequently, is from this “start point” that emerges architecture.
