In Ecuador, La Cabina de la Curiosidad has wrapped up the House of the Maywas, an exciting project completed in 2024. This initiative transforms an old building into a home, focusing on sustainable urban development rather than starting from scratch. The design team features La Cabina de la Curiosidad, with construction driven by Fabián Tenorio and his colleagues, including Luis Ramos and Patricio Suárez. Structural guidance came from Patricio Cevallos, while the artwork was done by Paulina Flores and others. Curated by Valentina Díaz, this project highlights the importance of making the most of existing spaces, aiming to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.
