3 weeks agoLa Miradora House / Taller General
A dwelling in Ecuador’s paramo at 3,403 m uses its high-site position and a gentle slope to maximize views and organize interior spaces.
Ecuador-based studio Taller General completes a residential project, La Miradora, in the rural landscape of Machachi. The home is sited at 3,403 meters above sea level within the Páramo ecosystem, a tropical wetland of the Andes. Perched along the highest point of its elongated plot, the dwelling opens broadly outward to overlook a steep ravine, with the expansive and fragile landscape backdropped by meadows and volcanoes on the horizon.
