This is the quite hills house was designed by al bordE (David Barragán y Pascual Gangotena). This House far from the pollution of the city, set in hillside of the Ilaló volcano in a indomitable land Tumbaco, Quito- Ecuador. It’s limited by two streams opened to the landscape of the valley. A cut in the sloping land helps to generate a platform for the project and also to get enough raw material to build the gravity walls. The waving form as a result of this cut in the land, defines the position and order of every wall. The succession of these adobe walls and the different heights of the roof caused the division of the house even for the activity or the user.
In order to get rid off the domino effect, the gravity walls break their parallelism solving the structure and strengthening the character (spirit) of every “refuge”. The furniture is worked inside the thick adobe walls. The long corridor is used as an element that isolates the project from their immediate neighbours and reinforces the autonomy of every space.
