YOO Quito, Ecuador
Philippe Starck to develop YOO quito, a residential tower in Ecuador
YOO, a residential and hotel design company founded by designer Philippe Starck and John Hitchcox proposes their residential tower ‘YOO Quito’; poised to be the tallest tower in the Ecuadorian capital. The avant-garde project is part of a larger masterplan of transforming the architectural landscape of Quito since the construction of a new and improved transportation system. The subway has improved with better connections from the airport into the heart of the city, making it possible for the densification and growth of height in the city, reasons that previously restricted the height of its buildings by the plane passing.
