eucalyptus wood structure crafts guabo house by ese colectivo in ecuador
Briefly

Utilizing traditional Andean techniques and materials such as bahareque walls and eucalyptus wood, the expansion project unfolds with careful consideration of the existing structure and local vernacular.
Central to the design is the creation of a minimal internal courtyard around an existing Guabo tree, serving as a transitional space and delineating private and social zones.
The new roof design maintains the original slope while introducing a slight offset for natural light penetration, creating distinct zones for the kitchen and study.
Ese Colectivo reorganizes the layout within the existing structure to optimize comfort and spaciousness, transforming a single bathroom into two complete bathrooms.
