A residential project named Al Borde sits in La Vicentina, a traditional middle-class neighborhood in Quito, Ecuador. The lot occupies a staircase, which prevents on-site parking but matches the owner's frequent bicycle use and lifestyle. The hillside topography provides framed views toward Cerro Auqui and informs the spatial organization. The program includes a main dwelling for the owner, a smaller unit for the daughter, and a flexible common area that can function as a workshop or social space. Design and technical credits include JAG Studio, 36 Architecture and Construction, Grupo Investigacion Scinergy, Patricio Cevallos, and Carolina Quishpe.
