Wooden vaults sit on stone foundations for Ecuadorian hotel extension

Ecuadorian architects Ignacio Muñoz Bustamante and Javier Mera Luna have teamed up to expand a hotel with three new guest rooms constructed with metal vaulted roofs over stone walls in Papallacta, Ecuador.
Known as Las Pajareras, the guest rooms are part of Guango Lodge, a 300-acre (121 hectares) property between the Papallacta River and the Chalpi Mountain range that has been maintained and conserved by the same family for more than 50 years.
