This public viewpoint by architects Daniel Moreno Flores, Javier Mera Luna & Jorge Javier Andrade Benítez perches on the rim of Ecuador’s Quilotoa volcanic crater, framing panoramic views of the turquoise crater lake. Crafted in timber and steel, the design responds to the dramatic Andean landscape, offering layered observation points that invite contemplation and connection with nature. Its minimal structure enhances accessibility and spectacle without overpowering the environment.
