El Quinche House: Felipe Escudero

This plain box shaped house may seem all plain jane from the looks but oddly enough all of the walls were shaped by hand. Each wall has a different texture then the one beside it. Felipe Escudero is widely known for these types of concrete structures. The appearance of the home gives the building of it being smaller than what it actually is. The position of the house in the mountains of  Ecuador lets the house be heated by the natural position of the sun as well as the windows are re-enforced to help with high winds.  el quiche house el quincho house 2
