Nestled in the lush hills of Tumbaco, near Quito in Ecuador, Casa Magnolia is a striking project by architect Felipe Escudero. Bold yet fluid, the home reimagines domestic architecture and its interaction with its surroundings. Conceived as a hybrid between organic form and futuristic vision, Escudero’s design wraps nature in sculptural curves, giving concrete an almost liquid grace. Every detail feels intentional, choreographed, and entirely at ease within the landscape.
The house rests on three intersecting wings that radiate from a central core, like petals opening to the sky. Softly polished concrete flows into tinted glass and deep bronze accents, echoing the volcanic terrain that surrounds it. Its most distinctive feature? A continuous ribbon-like roofline that merges walls, ceiling, and façade into a single, uninterrupted gesture. This is architecture as an act of presence: uncompromising in form, yet deeply rooted in its context.
In the quiet strength of Casa Magnolia, we find a language we understand well here at Bellerose — bold design grounded in purpose.
