Cahuasquí · Imbabura · Ecuador
An island in the sky, built by hand.
A small custom home built by hand for one or two people. It is the quietest and softest sleep on the farm.
La Casita is the newest cabin and the smallest by design, with one bedroom, one porch and one clear view. It was built for a couple on a honeymoon, a writer on a retreat, or a single traveler who wants the mountain to themselves. Every window and door was built in town by my local carpenter friend, and the porch sits exactly where the morning light first lands on the valley.

Creation of La Casita
The little one
La Casita is the newest cabin on the farm and the smallest by design, with one bedroom, one porch and one clear view. After years of hosting families in the bigger houses, I wanted a place built for one or two people: a couple on a honeymoon, a writer on a retreat, or a single traveler who wants the mountain to themselves. Every window and door was built in town by my local carpenter friend, every wall went up by hand, and the porch sits exactly where the morning light first lands on the valley.
