Rising 32 stories and reaching 125.8 meters in height, the mixed\u2011use tower is scheduled for completion in 2029.<\/p>\n<p>The tower\u2019s striking aesthetic is deeply rooted in Kengo Kuma\u2019s philosophy of harmonizing nature with the built environment, drawing direct inspiration from the rich geology of the Andes Mountains. The building features a highly textured fa\u00e7ade with floor-to-ceiling windows and organic, \u201ccarved\u201d balconies adorned with lush greenery to emulate the porous, plant-filled crevices of volcanic rock. Kuma notes that the design reflects a shared sensitivity to natural materials found in both ancient Japanese and Ecuadorian ceramics, weaving a \u201cfocus on nature and texture\u201d into the heart of the urban center.\n<\/p>\n<p>Inside, Qapital offers 509 micro\u2011apartment studios ranging from 21 \u2013 36.15 square meters, alongside three ground\u2011floor commercial units. The compact living concept responds to Quito\u2019s growing short\u2011term rental market, providing flexible opportunities for both residents and investors. Amenities are extensive, including a wellness area, fitness center, private cinema, game room, pet spa,and a sky terrace. The rooftop swimming pool is adorned with a bespoke mosaic by Fornasetti, produced by Bisazza, marking the Italian atelier\u2019s first project in South America.\n<\/p>\n<p>The project reflects Uribe Schwarzkopf\u2019s ongoing mission to bring world\u2011renowned architects to Ecuador, having previously collaborated with Bjarke Ingels Group, Ateliers Jean Nouvel, MAD Architects and Safdie Architects. For Kengo Kuma, Qapital embodies his philosophy of integrating natural textures and materials into urban architecture, bridging Japanese and Ecuadorian traditions.

Rising 32 stories and reaching 125.8 meters in height, the mixed\u2011use tower is scheduled for completion in 2029.<\/p>\n<p>The tower\u2019s striking aesthetic is deeply rooted in Kengo Kuma\u2019s philosophy of harmonizing nature with the built environment, drawing direct inspiration from the rich geology of the Andes Mountains. The building features a highly textured fa\u00e7ade with floor-to-ceiling windows and organic, \u201ccarved\u201d balconies adorned with lush greenery to emulate the porous, plant-filled crevices of volcanic rock. Kuma notes that the design reflects a shared sensitivity to natural materials found in both ancient Japanese and Ecuadorian ceramics, weaving a \u201cfocus on nature and texture\u201d into the heart of the urban center.\n<\/p>\n<p>Inside, Qapital offers 509 micro\u2011apartment studios ranging from 21 \u2013 36.15 square meters, alongside three ground\u2011floor commercial units. The compact living concept responds to Quito\u2019s growing short\u2011term rental market, providing flexible opportunities for both residents and investors. Amenities are extensive, including a wellness area, fitness center, private cinema, game room, pet spa,and a sky terrace. The rooftop swimming pool is adorned with a bespoke mosaic by Fornasetti, produced by Bisazza, marking the Italian atelier\u2019s first project in South America.\n<\/p>\n<p>The project reflects Uribe Schwarzkopf\u2019s ongoing mission to bring world\u2011renowned architects to Ecuador, having previously collaborated with Bjarke Ingels Group, Ateliers Jean Nouvel, MAD Architects and Safdie Architects. For Kengo Kuma, Qapital embodies his philosophy of integrating natural textures and materials into urban architecture, bridging Japanese and Ecuadorian traditions. With 93.7% of units already sold prior to groundbreaking and prices starting at $69,990 USD, Qapital is positioned as both a landmark addition to Quito\u2019s skyline and a symbol of the city\u2019s evolving design culture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6717233\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Veil in Dh\u00ebrmi: Architecture That Yields to the Landscape\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6716078\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>ARKET and Laila Gohar Spin Surreal, Reimagined Carousel at Milan Design Week\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6713400\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Why You Need to Get to Know The Work of Andrea Branzi\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Rising 32 stories and reaching 125.8 meters in height, the mixed\u2011use tower is scheduled for completion in 2029.<\/p>\n<p>The tower\u2019s striking aesthetic is deeply rooted in Kengo Kuma\u2019s philosophy of harmonizing nature with the built environment, drawing direct inspiration from the rich geology of the Andes Mountains. The building features a highly textured fa\u00e7ade with floor-to-ceiling windows and organic, \u201ccarved\u201d balconies adorned with lush greenery to emulate the porous, plant-filled crevices of volcanic rock. Kuma notes that the design reflects a shared sensitivity to natural materials found in both ancient Japanese and Ecuadorian ceramics, weaving a \u201cfocus on nature and texture\u201d into the heart of the urban center.\n<\/p>\n<p>Inside, Qapital offers 509 micro\u2011apartment studios ranging from 21 \u2013 36.15 square meters, alongside three ground\u2011floor commercial units. The compact living concept responds to Quito\u2019s growing short\u2011term rental market, providing flexible opportunities for both residents and investors. Amenities are extensive, including a wellness area, fitness center, private cinema, game room, pet spa,and a sky terrace. The rooftop swimming pool is adorned with a bespoke mosaic by Fornasetti, produced by Bisazza, marking the Italian atelier\u2019s first project in South America.\n<\/p>\n<p>The project reflects Uribe Schwarzkopf\u2019s ongoing mission to bring world\u2011renowned architects to Ecuador, having previously collaborated with Bjarke Ingels Group, Ateliers Jean Nouvel, MAD Architects and Safdie Architects. For Kengo Kuma, Qapital embodies his philosophy of integrating natural textures and materials into urban architecture, bridging Japanese and Ecuadorian traditions. With 93.7% of units already sold prior to groundbreaking and prices starting at $69,990 USD, Qapital is positioned as both a landmark addition to Quito\u2019s skyline and a symbol of the city\u2019s evolving design culture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6717233\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>The Veil in Dh\u00ebrmi: Architecture That Yields to the Landscape\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6716078\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>ARKET and Laila Gohar Spin Surreal, Reimagined Carousel at Milan Design Week\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6713400\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Why You Need to Get to Know The Work of Andrea Branzi\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

Rising 32 stories and reaching 125.8 meters in height, the mixed\u2011use tower is scheduled for completion in 2029.<\/p>\n<p>The tower\u2019s striking aesthetic is deeply rooted in Kengo Kuma\u2019s philosophy of harmonizing nature with the built environment, drawing direct inspiration from the rich geology of the Andes Mountains. The building features a highly textured fa\u00e7ade with floor-to-ceiling windows and organic, \u201ccarved\u201d balconies adorned with lush greenery to emulate the porous, plant-filled crevices of volcanic rock. Kuma notes that the design reflects a shared sensitivity to natural materials found in both ancient Japanese and Ecuadorian ceramics, weaving a \u201cfocus on nature and texture\u201d into the heart of the urban center.\n<\/p>\n<p>Inside, Qapital offers 509 micro\u2011apartment studios ranging from 21 \u2013 36.15 square meters, alongside three ground\u2011floor commercial units. The compact living concept responds to Quito\u2019s growing short\u2011term rental market, providing flexible opportunities for both residents and investors. Amenities are extensive, including a wellness area, fitness center, private cinema, game room, pet spa,and a sky terrace. The rooftop swimming pool is adorned with a bespoke mosaic by Fornasetti, produced by Bisazza, marking the Italian atelier\u2019s first project in South America.\n<\/p>\n<p>The project reflects Uribe Schwarzkopf\u2019s ongoing mission to bring world\u2011renowned architects to Ecuador, having previously collaborated with Bjarke Ingels Group, Ateliers Jean Nouvel, MAD Architects and Safdie Architects. For Kengo Kuma, Qapital embodies his philosophy of integrating natural textures and materials into urban architecture, bridging Japanese and Ecuadorian traditions. With 93.7% of units already sold prior to groundbreaking and prices starting at $69,990 USD, Qapital is positioned as both a landmark addition to Quito\u2019s skyline and a symbol of the city\u2019s evolving design culture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-author d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider share-divider\">\n<h6>Text By<\/h6>\n<p><span class=\"author-name\">Zoe Leung<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-credentials d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<div class=\"credential\">\n<h6>Editor Assistant<\/h6>\n<p><span>Mai Vo<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-share d-block d-lg-none\">\n<hr class=\"sidebar-divider\">\n<h6>Share this article<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-body-content-tags\">\n<div class=\"body collapsed\">\n<p>    ArchitectureKengo KumaKengo Kuma &amp; AssociatesEcuadorUribe Schwarzkopf\n                                                            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2026\/5\/kengo-kuma-uribe-schwarzkopf-qapital-tower-quito-ecuador-project&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/image-cdn.hypb.st\/https%3A%2F%2Fhypebeast.com%2Fimage%2F2026%2F05%2F05%2Fkengo-kuma-uribe-schwarzkopf-qapital-tower-quito-ecuador-project-tw.jpg?w=1080&amp;cbr=1&amp;q=90&amp;fit=max&#8221;] Design May 5, 2026 635 Views 0\u00a0Comments Comments Save Text By Zoe Leung Editor Assistant Mai Vo Share this article 1 of 17 Kengo Kuma &amp; Associates\/Uribe Schwarzkopf 2 of 17 Kengo Kuma &amp; Associates\/Uribe Schwarzkopf 3 of 17 Kengo Kuma &amp; Associates\/Uribe Schwarzkopf 4 of 17 Kengo Kuma &amp; Associates\/Uribe Schwarzkopf [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,39],"class_list":["post-1924095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-hypebeast-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1924095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924095\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1924095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1924095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1924095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
