Several Houses in Ecuador

ecuadorian houses

Ecuador has different models of houses, but they are built depends on the area, the model of the house and what materials the house will be made of.

Coast region: In the rural area of ​​the coast the houses are made of wood, guadua cane and cali roofs.  In the city the houses are built depending on the economic situation of each family, if the families are middle or upper class they usually build cement houses.  also several people from the middle and lower classes choose to build their wooden houses, guadua cane and cadi.

Sierra region: In the mountains since ancient times, traditional houses are made of blocks that are clay and straw, but as time progresses and everything is modernized, there are very few houses of these and we can find them in the indigenous communities, in the city and its outskirts.  Nowadays it is very common to find reinforced concrete houses.

Amazon region: In the Amazon mainly the houses are built with wood and the vast majority with reinforced concrete and tiles; but there are many communities around the city in which the majority of their houses are built with chonta wood, guadua cane or huangana wood and their roofs are mainly made of toquilla straw, plastic or zinc sheets.
