Imperia Horizonte
Imperia Horizonte is Quito’s new sanctuary for modern families seeking a strategic location within the city. Imperia Horizonte has common lifestyle spaces such as Clubhouse, BBQ zone, Fitness Studio, Pet Spa, Green Spaces, and Wi-Fi. The complex offers a sustainable luxury option in 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartment homes as well as studio suites. It is a sustainable, pet-friendly project that adapts to the needs of each person who decides to live and invest in the project.
In addition to energy, water, and material savings, the project has an extensive green area made up of native plants to reduce water demand, bicycle parking, a waste management system and bioclimatic design strategies to provide thermal comfort.
Architecture and functional design with the environment in mind were provided by Odd+ Architects, while the environmental design consultancy was supplied by En.Te Design.
Imperia Horizonte has received a Preliminary EDGE Certificate from Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI).
