The two lodgings were developed in a stone quarry in the town of Baños de Agua Santa. The land is sheltered by the Tungurahua Volcano, which was in eruption for 20 years, in addition, the Pastaza River passes to the opposite side. The land is divided into two sections and therefore into two different uses:

1. Forty percent of the surface is devoted to a quarry; it runs from the top of the property to the riverbed. Dumpers, excavators, sieves, large volumes of stones cover the surrounding landscape.

2. The remaining area is in the process of remediation to returned it to its natural state. This section has different ecosystems with native vegetation, there are different climatic levels, therefore, the vegetation changes. The higher areas are dominated by Achupallas and low Andean vegetation; the lower shaded areas, close to the river, which is feed by streams coming from the mountain, is forested.

The owners have put their energy in a process of a succession of activities, changing the extractive quarry model to an idea of conservation of the ecosystems of the land; their intention is to change the property for adventure tourism activities, taking advantage of its large volcanic rock walls for climbing. They have camping areas and now lodges.

All the obsolete objects discarded in the quarry have been put to use, as a dialogue of time and memory, accompanying this unique circumstance. The character of the lodgings share elements and materials of the quarry. In this spatial remediation, the materials come from 3 places

a) The giant stones that have been placed as structural supports are remnants of the old quarry.

b) Stone slabs from the a 50 m high and 400 m wide cliff, were used for the sinks in the lodges.

c) Gravel and sand from the quarry have been placed in walkways and outdoor spaces.

a) Old sieves and pipeline pipes, that were discarded in the quarry, were use in building the lodges.

b) Metal pieces, carved stones, rods and wood (staves and beams) are elements that they had stored from old constructions in the town of Baños.

c) There was also a coil of thick steel cable, a ladle, small ladle nails, among other elements typical of machinery spare parts.

These recycled elements used in the lodges embrace the new visitors, generating spaces with the spirit of the quarry and the lodges are in harmony with the native vegetation.

a) The new pine and colorado wood allows the visitor a spatial quality and the comfort needed in the interiors of the lodges and the separated dining room/ kitchen structure.

b) The constructions were created with two large, prefabricated trusses on the ground, easy to build and to load.

The experience of being inside the lodge is that of an observatory facing directly to the Tungurahua volcano and intensifies it so that the impression is majestic and very rooted in the place.
