El Refugio，位于厄瓜多尔昆卡的南部农村，是一个与自然相联系的休息空间。该项目位于一个农场内，为一个小型家庭团体提供了一个个人空间。通往该地的道路从一条二阶路开始，从那里产生了一个第一视角，突出了地形和令人印象深刻的特有森林。该项目并不期待挑战景观，而是通过其物质性和体积的建议成为景观的一部分。
El Refugio, located in the Southern countryside of Cuenca, Ecuador, is a rest space in connection with nature. The project, located on a farm, generates a personal space for a reduced family group. The approach to the site starts from a second-order road, from which a first perspective is generated that highlights the topography and the impressive endemic forest. The project doesn’t look forward to challenging the landscape, but rather to be part of it through its materiality and volumetric proposal.
基于乡土建筑的构造系统，除了是项目的形态同时代性与景观的雄伟性之间的联系，还证明了其适当性。当地的石墙，地板上的手工砖，以及由木质结构、芦苇藤和粘土屋顶瓦制成的屋顶，为这个庇护所提供了热平衡，缓解了该地区的气候条件。该项目开发面积为175平方米，分为两个基本部分。第一个区块是社会区域，包括一个门廊，作为自然和房屋之间的过渡元素。第二个元素，由于隐私原因位于后面的区域，包含了洗手间。
The constructive system, based on the vernacular architecture, besides being a link between the morphological contemporaneity of the project with the majesty of the landscape, proves its appropriateness. The local stone walls, the artisanal bricks on the floors, and the roof made with wooden structure, reed cane, and clay roof tiles give thermal balance to the shelter that mitigates the climatology conditions of the zone. The program, developed in 175m2, is organized into two basic volumes. The first block hosts the social area, including a porch as a transition element between nature and the house. The second element, located in the back zone for privacy reasons, contains the restroom.
体积之间的划分产生了第三个区域，构成了项目的核心，即厨房和烤肉区。这个空间带回了原始小屋的概念，在那里火是社会活动的中心。
The division between volumes generates a third zone that constitutes the heart of the project, the kitchen, and the barbecue. This space brings back the primitive hut concept, where the fire is the center of social activities.
