EPIQ Tower in Quito: A Green Marvel 


"BIG's Second Architectural Triumph: Redefining Sustainable Urban Living in Ecuador"



In the heart of Quito, Ecuador, rises EPIQ, a 24-story testament to architectural ingenuity, embodying the essence of a "vertical city" while seamlessly integrating with the vibrant natural surroundings. Located opposite La Carolina Park, this porous, dynamic structure clad in distinctive pink tiles stands as a beacon of sustainable urbanism in the burgeoning city.

Inspired by Ecuadorian roots and contemporary design principles, EPIQ creates a symbiosis between architecture and nature. The structure pays homage to the city's breathtaking sunsets, Andean flora and fauna, and the traditional weavings of toquilla straw. Through meticulous design, warm and natural textures permeate the landscapes, reflecting the very essence of the locale.


EPIQ


At its core, EPIQ champions sustainability through cutting-edge technology. A greywater treatment plant repurposes rainwater, embodying a commitment to resource conservation. The architectural brilliance takes into account Quito's unique climate, strategically minimizing the need for excessive heating and air conditioning. The building employs a comprehensive bank of materials, promoting the reuse and recycling of construction materials, while eco-efficient appliances further underscore its commitment to green living.

Public spaces within EPIQ seamlessly connect with a vibrant commercial center, Quito's cherished La Carolina Park, and the eagerly awaited metro system, enhancing the building's role as a community hub.

As the world grapples with environmental challenges, EPIQ sets a standard for green buildings, demonstrating that modernity and environmental consciousness can coexist harmoniously.In conclusion, EPIQ in Quito not only redefines the city's skyline but also sets a global precedent for sustainable urban development. As Ecuador takes a bold step towards a greener future, EPIQ stands tall, embodying the fusion of modernity, tradition, and environmental responsibility.
