A weekend home that is located on one of the hills that border the town of Yaruquí, notably developed by the new Quito airport. Located on a hillside with a regular slope that offers impressive views towards the Tababela valley.
​
La Casa Sun Villa, was born from the concept of reinterpreting the traditional architecture of the Andes of Quito. To maintain coherence with the environment, brick was used as a fundamental raw material, in this case a hollowed-out brick, which allowed us to solve the details in many ways.
​
The house is developed in a 21 meter long bar, it works as an axis that adapts to the topography of the land which distributes the entire program in a linear way so that all the spaces are connected to a porch with a privileged view.
The structure is metallic, prefabricated in the workshop and assembled on site. The carpentry is also metal, with a system of sliding and folding doors that allow the house to be shielded, to protect it when it is uninhabited and which in turn works as a blind to cover the porch from the sun or the wind at certain times of the year.
