General Description:

A 7-story residential building with a total construction area of 4,000 m², conceived as a real estate project with an innovative and unusual design in Ecuador. Its construction presented the challenge of a process that took almost 8 years due to the owner's financial difficulties, which required strategic technical management to ensure the continuity of the project.

The project combines a mixed reinforced concrete structure and a metal deck, with spacious apartments and a large-scale architectural design developed by a renowned architect.

Architectural Program:

-12 generously sized apartments.

-A terraced communal area, designed as a space for socializing and recreation.

-Distinctive architectural details: exposed concrete, orange framing, and cyan handrails.

-High-quality finishes: natural pine floors and windows imported from Spain.

Professional Role: Construction Superintendent:

-Comprehensive supervision and coordination of construction (from retaining walls and subsoil to 90% completion).

-Design optimization and adjustment on-site, adapting construction solutions.

-Technical direction of the mixed-use structure (concrete + metal decking).

-Schedule, budget, and quality control throughout all phases.

-Supervision of suppliers and high-standard finishes.

-Management of project reactivation after periods of hiatus.

Architectural Value:

-Project with a unique identity compared to the Ecuadorian real estate market.

-Use of exposed concrete as the predominant aesthetic language.

-Integration of unconventional colors and materials into the local architecture.
