Jardines del Sol
Inhabiting between forest and ocean.
The place
Five hectares facing the Ecuadorian Pacific
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.
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.
Contact
A conversation, before a brochure
If this landscape speaks to you, we would rather begin with a conversation.
