The Miradora sits in the central highlands of Ecuador within the paramo ecosystem at 3,403 meters above sea level. The house occupies the highest point of an elongated plot bordered by prairies and prominent volcanoes. The site has vehicle access on one end and a deep ravine on the opposite end. The dwelling exploits a slight slope in the terrain to open toward panoramic views and to define the internal layout. Structural calculations were performed by Miguel Morales and construction was executed by Taller General, with JAG Studio collaborating alongside multiple contributors.
