The “Casa 1.5-3” project is a single-family home located in the commune of Olón, in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. Situated on a 1100 m² plot, this house aims to harmoniously integrate with its immediate surroundings, respecting and complementing the sensitive landscape in which it is located. Inspired by Juhani Pallasmaa’s ideas on dwelling, the design of this house focuses on creating spaces that foster a constant perceptual connection between the different realms of daily life.

The place is a plot in the middle of the Chocó forest in Ecuador, which used to function as a warehouse and clandestine cockfights. First, this warehouse is rethought into a refuge for connection, awareness, and rehabilitation of the endemic forest. To achieve this sensitivity of the place, the concept of Irori was chosen as the guideline for design and emphasis on understanding the phenomenology in architecture, promoting spaces designed for actions and sensitivities rooted in collective memory.
