Casa Lasso | House with System of Pivoting Panels Allows the Family to Create Separate Zones

This weekend home in Lasso, Ecuador prioritizes sustainability and local traditions. The house is built using rammed earth walls, a traditional technique, and incorporates furniture directly embedded into the walls to maximize space. Natural materials and local workers were used throughout the construction process.

The design is open and adaptable. Pivoting panels allow the family to create separate zones or completely open the house to the outdoors. The house is built with a focus on sustainability. It has a waste management system that recycles water for irrigation and avoids reliance on external sewage. The surrounding land, previously depleted by eucalyptus plantations, will be restored by planting native species.
