Congratulations to A1 Arquitectura Avanzada who has just been awarded the Luxury Lifestyle Award for Best Luxury Villa Architecture in Ecuador for their Hidden Stone House project. Completed in 2021, this villa showcases advanced biomimetic architecture and a profound respect for nature and the environment.
A1 Arquitectura Avanzada is one of Ecuador’s forefront architectural firms that is known for its client-centered, innovative, and sustainable projects. Under the leadership of José Daniel Terán, the team is committed to redefining design concepts and creating spaces that surpass all expectations.
The design process of the Hidden Stone House started in 2020 with the objective of merging the building seamlessly with its adjacent landscape. The client sought a design that would embrace the sloped terrain, connect with the natural environment, and offer breathtaking sunset views of the nearby city.
A1 Arquitectura Avanzada employs biomimetic and symbiotic architecture, drawing inspiration from natural processes without merely replicating them. The Hidden Stone House is strategically positioned among endemic trees that creates a harmonious environment where nature and architecture coincide. This symbiotic approach increases both elements, fostering a peaceful and eco-friendly setting for its residents.
This project resulted in an architectural masterpiece that marries modern luxury with sustainability, featuring Material Sensitivity that utilizes colors, textures, and materials to enrich sensory experiences which allows inhabitants to connect more deeply with their surroundings. Sustainable elements like thermal inertia, gray water recycling and natural ventilation ensure energy efficiency while decreasing environmental effect.
The Hidden Stone House represents the company’s devotion to pushing the boundaries of design, illustrating how architecture can coexist with, and deepen, the natural world.
José Daniel Terán, CEO of A1 Arquitectura Avanzada, expressed gratitude with: “We are very honored to receive this recognition for the Hidden Stone House as it echoes the passion of our whole team. We remain committed to designing sustainable and innovative spaces that corresponds with nature. Thank you.”
