Villa Gabi architecture starts a direct dialogue with nature through the use of local materials and a design that aims to blur the lines between inside and outside.

The homeowners were looking for a home design that would allow them to enjoy the beauty of the natural landscape from every corner of the dwelling. Large sliding doors and windows, terraces and the patio provide a breathtaking view on the surroundings as well as optimal natural light for the interior.
A natural material palette brings warmth to the otherwise minimalistic design. All other elements within the house are extremely modern and functional and contrast with the sparse, organic nature of the surrounding area. The interiors make the most of the beautiful Ecuadorian light, extensively using white surfaces and furniture, which enhance even more the feeling of a limitless space.
