Residence in Chacras
- Marion Griese
In April 2016 the client’s family house was completely destroyed during one of the most severe earthquakes in the history of Ecuador. As they had been made homeless, relatives gave them a site in Chacras, a small town directly on the Peruvian border. Following a construction period of just ten days, thanks to efficient collaboration between the local culture initiative Cronopios and the office of Natura Future Arqitectura they were able to move into the new house in May already. Presenting the design in the social media attracted numerous donations of materials and, under the direction of the architects, many neighbours, civil and state-employed earthquake helpers assisted with the construction work.
