Jardines del Sol
The place where we would want to live.
The place
Five hectares on the Cojimies Peninsula
A coastal forest of palms and mangroves. One hundred and seventy metres of open ocean. The stretch of Pacific closest to Quito — four hours from the capital, on the Cojimíes peninsula. One of the last stretches of the Ecuadorian coast where another rhythm of life is still possible.
Engawa
In Japan there is a word for the space between the house and the garden
Not interior. Not exterior. A threshold.
Jardines del Sol imagines that threshold on the Ecuadorian Pacific: architecture that opens to gardens, shade and sea.
The vision
The place where we would want to live
This did not begin as a real-estate venture. It began as an intimate question: what place would we build for ourselves? A few houses among gardens. Shade and slowness. The ocean present, without becoming spectacle. A small community that cares for the landscape it inhabits.

A conversation, before a brochure
If this landscape speaks to you, we would rather begin with a conversation.
