Emilio López builds house with bow-tie shape in coastal Ecuador

The glazed ends of this house in Ecuador, by local architect Emilio López, are larger than the building's middle portion to make the most of ocean and forest views.
Don Juan House is a two-storey residence perched atop a hill, which features a notable dip in its centre to give the impression of a bow-tie.The residence measures 1,184 square feet (110 square metres) and was designed by Quito-based firm Emilio López Arquitecto to suit its natural setting in the coastal area
