A house that still carries its history.
Built around 1830, Casa Santa Clara retains much of its original materiality: stone and brick walls, timber beams and columns, and the textures left by nearly two centuries of life.
During its restoration, these elements were preserved rather than concealed, allowing the old house to remain present within its contemporary architecture.
Because a sense of place begins with what was already here. The materials, the craftsmanship, the imperfections, and the unmistakable character of Quito’s Historic Center.
