The Hills Apartment Towers, Ecuador
MVRDV designs residential towers with lush public green valley in Puerto Santa Ana, Ecuador
MVRDV has revealed the design for The Hills, the firm?s first project in South America. Designed for Quito-based developer Uribe Schwarzkopf, the project is located on the Guayas riverfront in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Comprising six residential towers atop a mixed-use plinth that creates a lively, landscaped ?valley? on its roof, the design is inspired by the many juxtapositions found in Guayaquil itself ? from the broad expanse of the river contrasted with nearby mountains, to the sight of modern high-rises on the shoreline set against the colourful hillside settlements of the Santa Ana hill.
The Hills adds a dramatic new addition to the Guayaquil skyline. The project is located in Puerto Santa Ana, extending the boulevard that is gradually being consolidated along much of the city?s waterfront. The six residential towers of The Hills range from 92 to 143 metres, rising taller as they step away from the riverfront, thus echoing the way the city ?steps up? from the waterfront to the hills behind.
At the base of the project, the towers merge together to form a terraced green valley that contains an oasis of pool...
