2015年，丹妮和珍妮在加拉帕戈斯的圣克里斯托瓦尔岛创立了第一家手工酿酒厂：La Cervecería Endémica。该建议寻求可持续的、自然的和当地的；尽可能地考虑到岛屿的局限性（资源和能源供应、运输等）。经过四年的工作，随着他们第一个孩子的到来，这对夫妇决定在位于巴克里索-莫雷诺港城市边缘的一块土地上建造他们自己的第一座房子，距离海岸线一公里。与酿酒厂一样，他们寻求建造可持续的、当地的、对群岛自然环境尽可能敏感的住宅。因此，Endemic House的目标是成为一个简单、高效的房子，并优先使用当地的劳动力和材料。有限的预算是管理和物流方面的一个重要挑战。
In 2015, Dany and Jenny founded the first artisanal brewery on San Cristóbal Island, in Galapagos: La Cervecería Endémica. The proposal sought to be sustainable, natural, and local; as much as possible, considering the limitations of an Island (resources and energy supply, transportation, etc.). After four years of work and with the arrival of their first child, the couple decides to build the first house of their own on a plot of land located on the urban edge of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, one kilometer away from the coast. In the same way as in the brewery, they seek to build their home sustainable, local, and as sensitive as possible to the natural context of the Islands. The Endemic House, therefore, aims to be a simple, efficient house and prioritizes the use of the local workforce and materials. The limited budget represents an important challenge in terms of management and logistics.
该项目在底层占地约120平方米，留出一个后天井作为菜园，在前面和侧面的强制撤退中继续作为绿色区域。朝向另一侧，有一个被邻近的房子限制的细长空间，面对浴室，包含了底层的洗衣区。地方性房屋是通过竹子（caña guadua）结构来解决的，这些竹子是由当地的建筑商在岛上收集和处理的。为了节约成本，工作监测是远程进行的，在客户、建筑商和建筑师之间建立了密切的关系。
The project occupies an area of approximately 120m2 on the ground floor, leaving a rear patio for a vegetable garden, which continues as a green area in the mandatory retreats in the front and the side. Towards the other side, there is an elongated space limited by the neighboring house, facing the bathrooms and containing the laundry area on the ground floor. The Endemic House is resolved through a bamboo (caña guadua) structure, which has been collected and treated in the Islands by a local builder. To save costs, the work monitoring is carried out remotely, establishing a close relationship between the clients, the builder, and the architects.
该项目分为三层，空间分布在一个宽大的楼梯核心周围，楼梯的功能是通往最高层的海景，并通过允许热空气循环的烟囱效应作为项目的生物气候性能轴。底层被划分为社交区域和一个客房，为了让老年访客感到舒适，客房避开了楼梯。楼上有两个房间，通过一个半高的水平变化和一个浴室来区分。层高的变化使得主卧室和孩子的游戏室之间有了间接的关系，当隐私要求发生变化时，可以作为一个单独的房间关闭。在三楼，有一个小的工作室房间/观景台，这个空间高于邻近的建筑，并向海岸的立面开放，框住了日落的景色。
The project is divided in three levels, where the spaces are distributed around a wide core of stairs that function as a path leading to the view of the sea at the highest level, and as the axis of the bioclimatic performance of the project, through the chimney effect that allows the circulation of hot air. The ground floor is divided between the social areas and a guest room that avoids the stairs, for the comfort of the elderly visitors. Upstairs, there are two rooms differentiated by a half-height level variation and a bathroom. The level variation allows an indirect relationship between the master bedroom and the playroom for the child, with the possibility of closing as a single room when privacy requirements change. On the third floor, there is a small studio room/viewpoint, a space that rises above the neighboring buildings and opens onto the façade towards the coast, framing the view of the sunset.
朝向内部，大部分的家具、墙壁和分区都是用竹子或塞德雷拉解决的，这是加拉帕戈斯群岛的一种典型的木材树。同样，阳台、露台和格子框架的外部细节也以不同的方式用塞德雷拉和藤条解决。另一方面，房子里的水是通过太阳能电池板加热的，而灰水则是通过带有植物的净化系统处理的，这就为绿化区留下了灌溉用水。由于材料进口的限制，屋顶及其相应的绝缘材料是用工业元素解决的。
Towards the interior, most of the furniture, walls, and divisions are resolved with bamboo or cedrela, a type of timber tree typical of the Galapagos Islands. In the same way, the external details of balconies, terraces, and latticeworks are solved with cedrela and cane in different ways. On the other hand, the water in the house is heated through solar panels, while gray water is treated through a purification system with plants, which leaves irrigation water for the green areas. Due to material import restrictions, the roofing and their corresponding insulation are resolved with industrial elements.
值得一提的是，尽管有当地的材料和加拉帕戈斯生态系统的脆弱条件，地方性房屋是圣克里斯托瓦尔的第二个用竹子技术建造的项目。在群岛的城市地区，大多数的建筑是由金属和混凝土制成的。
It is important to mention that, despite the availability of local materials and the fragile conditions of the Galapagos ecosystem, the Endemic House is the second project built with bamboo technology in San Cristóbal. In the urban areas of the Islands, most of the constructions are made out of metal and concrete.
