Status: Unbuilt
Client: Private
This 11,000 square-foot, X bedroom, X bathroom home is designed for a family of four on a stunning plot of land on the Guayas River in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Prioritizing privacy from the street, and the expansive vistas of the river valley, the street side of the home features parking, security, storage, and machine rooms, with a large garden dividing this buffer zone from the all transparent ground floor. As soon as visitors cross the entryway threshold, the home opens up to views of the river through the floor to ceiling glass that envelops all the ground floor. Thin concrete floor slabs with large overhangs and spans support the feeling of freedom, and the feeling of floating above the river when you are inside the house, with sweeping views from almost every room.
