The Quinchuyaku House is located on one of the eastern slopes of Ilaló (extinct volcano), 15 km from Quito, at an altitude of 2600 meters above sea level. With a dry temperate climate, this habitat is part of a gradual replacement project of the existing eucalyptus forest with native flora and fauna.

Alangasí House / Emilio López Arquitecto

The Alangasí House is conceived as a refuge in the countryside for a client who plans to leave his urban habitat gradually. Located in a peripheral area of Quito, this 110m2 house articulates load-bearing brick walls, which support the wooden roof structure with tile cladding. A house with load-bearing brick walls was resolved because the client required certain security and protection provided by the architecture. The house is implanted on top of a small hill so it is exposed to the view and the winds of the area. Thus, the wall mass with openings or bounded openings protects the interiors from the harsh climate and from prying eyes.

Don Juan House is located near the top of a hill along the coast line. Oriented from east to west, the house opens at both sides: in the front facing the ocean and in the back to a native deciduous forest. The double-opening allows crossed ventilation and imbeds the house and its inhabitants within the surroundings.
