Transparent House

Team work at EFE

Private Home

This 1,020 sqm residence in Guayaquil, Ecuador, is designed for a family of four, balancing privacy and openness. The street-facing side houses parking, security, and service areas, separated from the living spaces by a lush garden. The transparent ground floor, enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glass, offers uninterrupted river views. Thin concrete slabs with large overhangs enhance the sensation of floating above the water. Nearly every room enjoys sweeping vistas, creating a seamless connection with the landscape.

CORTE

The flower void

Team work at EFE + ATIX

Floral instalation, Cordoba, Spain.

This project transforms a courtyard into a sanctuary of self-discovery, using vegetation as a metaphor for growth and healing. Blending Ecuadorian and Spanish influences, it fuses natural fibers and overlooked flowers to symbolize creativity and emotional intelligence. The installation invites us to embrace our potential, overcome self-doubt, and see the world through infinite possibilities.

Light

Hotel

The LightHouse project is born from the rehabilitation of an abandoned lighthouse. The concept introduces interior capsules that minimize impact while expanding light seamlessly, avoiding sharp edges to create endless elements. Local materials reinterpret the site’s tones, ensuring sustainability and low impact. These infinite spaces evoke an idyllic atmosphere, blending Mediterranean materiality with spatial fluidity and comfort.

Thesis proposal

Designed as a dynamic and adaptable space, this project strengthens Guápulo’s role as a central hub between Quito and the Valley’s. It fosters personal and community development under a unifying structure, promoting shared experiences and social identity. By integrating flexible spaces and playful environments, the center enhances human interaction and cultural representation, embodying the concept of “Everyone under one roof.”.

The Program

Titicaca Chapel

Inspired by the natural terraces of the mountains, the project explores the interplay between solid (earth) and void (stone) to create dynamic spaces. Light guides visitors through a spiritual journey, illuminating pathways carved into the landscape. The entrance evokes vastness, the core purifies the individual, and the end becomes a place of self-reflection and contemplation of the surrounding environment.
