BIG COMPLETES FIRST BUILDING IN SOUTH AMERICA

07.12.2022

Our first building in South America is officially complete! After four years of construction, the 130m-high, 32-story IQON stands as the tallest building in the Ecuadorian capital of Quito – a city with one of the highest elevations in the world. Biophilia from the neighboring La Carolina Park continues up onto the building façade – which doubles as the building’s structure – and into the private domain of each home. The sculptural planters host the roots of the trees and appear as concrete sculptures inside the apartments.
