House Of The Flying Beds in Ibarra, Ecuador by Al Borde

Thursday, January 3rd, 2019

Article source: Al Borde

Built in the late eighteenth century, at first sight the house gave the impression of not being useful at all. It had only one-floor plan, the brick floor was broken, the eighty square meters were dark and cold, and the wood roof structure was rotten. Only the earth walls seemed able to be refurbish, which at first glance they did not look so bad at all.
