    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    Selva Alegre takes inspiration from the surrounding environment, the Andes Mountains in Ecuador. This wooden house is located away from the city, in an open landscape ideal for a retreat space. Our concept was to return to the roots of the hacienda house typology in terms of form and material but with a modern twist. This strategy resulted in a continuous wavy blanket which gently protects the program below it. The main spaces are opened towards the different views through prefabricated laminated beams whose curvature frames the visuals, creating a symbiosis between the context and the house.
