Diseño de casa de campo sostenible en la Comuna San Joaquín en El Triunfo.

Abstract

The client's housing needs, combined with preserving the environment, present the challenge of eco-designing a country house that meets the client's requirements. The proposed project aims to create an ecological home for the Jara family, integrating sustainable solutions aligned with SDGs 6, 7 and 12. The design was developed using the Design Thinking methodology and was based on preliminary studies (land analysis) and complementary studies (soil and water quality), which helped determine optimal conditions for construction. During the development phase, structural, plumbing and electrical systems were designed, with a focus on using metal profiles, solar panels and green roofs. Additionally, strategies for effluent collection and reuse were incorporated, as well as energy efficiency through clean technologies and reduction of environmental impact. The results demonstrate both the technical and economic feasibility of the proposal, as well as is adaptability to the environment. Key achievements include the implementation of water reuse strategies and the use of by-products within the economy of construction materials. With an approximate cost of 250K USD without considering construction finishes, the conclusion is that this model is applicable and contributes significantly to sustainable rural development in Ecuador.
