cheungvogl: 26 houses

cheungvogl: 26 houses

hong kong-based architectural studio cheungvogl  (judy cheung and christoph vogl) has sent us images
of their second project in south america. '26 houses', also referred to as 'CDM', is a residential development
overlooking the pacific ocean on the coastline of manta, ecuador. as the name might suggest, the project
consists of 26 houses plus 2 optional units which stagger up the existing landscape, creating a terraced form
that provides an unobstructed view of the beach for each unit.

the design features a central pedestrian access which runs up and connects the terraced gardens together.
moments of rest and communal spaces are provided along this axis, providing a sense of community
within the multi-house complex. ample deck space is created through the staggered-stacking layout
of the units, while a shared roof top accommodates a sundeck and pool. a discreet ramp off the main
road leads cars to a covered park area on the 10th level.

by inserting each house into the slope of the terrain, unnecessary site excavation and fill is kept
to a minimum, making the build of the project cost-efficient. based on a rationalized modular system,
the design allows for prefabricated construction to be brought on site for a speedier construction process.
