"The Guayabamba Cabin is a micro-architecture project located in the rural parish of Guayllabamba, Ecuador, an hour outside the city of Quito. Completed in 2021 by Quito-based architectural firm Rama Estudio, the cabin is a small, 33-square-meter wooden structure designed to blend into its surroundings while prioritizing sustainability and a connection with nature. Constructed with wood and a traditional Latin American technique called bahareque, which uses earth, straw, and wood, the cabin was designed with the intention of reclaiming local construction practices. This approach not only strengthens its connection to the land but also optimizes resources through material experimentation. The building is clad in small wooden panels, which give the structure a simple and timeless aesthetic. A central outdoor space and an elevated platform for the cabin allow it to connect seamlessly with the landscape and offer peaceful views of the lush green fields. The cabin was designed as a ""hospitality"" project, with a focus on creating a sustainable and adaptable retreat. This focus is part of Rama Estudio's broader architectural philosophy, which centers on sensitive approaches to natural context and resource optimization. The firm, co-founded by Felipe Donoso, Carolina Rodas, and Carlos Chávez, often integrates sustainable building materials like rammed earth, bamboo, and wood into its projects, reflecting a deep respect for the land and traditional building methods.
