Building a House in Ballenita, Ecuador

This is the house my father is building in Ballenita, Ecuador near Salinas. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and coastal views from every room in the house. It’s still about a month away from being finished, but you can see the general idea here.

He has incorporated a lot of natural materials into the home like rustic stone walls and beautiful wooden beams in the ceilings.


This particular house is designed with high ceilings and large windows to let in tons of natural light, but also built to catch the sea breeze so the house will be kept cool naturally and keep the air conditioning costs at a minimum.


When it's finished it will have an outdoor oven and bar to enjoy the perfect Ecuadorian weather, which I’m pretty much all about. Margaritas, anyone?
