The proposal designed by MAD Architects, located near the neighboring Iñaquito metro station, seeks to integrate with nature in a high-density area (although this aspect alone is not the solution for a more sustainable world if it is not accompanied by complexity). and urban continuity), developing with an organic shape in the form of a twisted stem.
The exterior façade of Qondesa grows displaying vegetation from the flower boxes on its balconies, with a structure that emulates vines that intertwine around the building to taper at the top. The exterior shape of the building is folded back so as not to impede the arrival of natural light and views of the nearby buildings.
The color and texture of the façade are intended to recall the volcanic stone from the nearby volcano used in the stone facades of the historic buildings in the old town of Quito.

The tower is located in front of Parque La Carolina, a 67-hectare active green space in the heart of the city that connects all the residential, commercial, and leisure elements. The building has multiple facilities and common areas, which, as discussed in the presentation, is complemented by eco-efficient engineering, which incorporates sustainability parameters through the responsible consumption of resources and energy, as well as comprehensive waste management from its stage. of construction.
The proposed tower is part of Quito's new urban plan, which aims to create a more environmentally friendly city and improve the quality of life of its inhabitants.
