Ecuadorean houses are nothing like our own. The average plot size is 25m x 10m on which they then put a house which is 18mx8m, so no room for a garden.  two metres of this house will be covered verandah from the supports of which are hammock hooks.  I do not know if there is a law making his obligatory, but I have yet to see a house without them, or the hammock.  I have two myself, one a full size job and the other a hammock chair.

Inside the house, there are no passages.  The living space is open plan with just a counter to divide off the kitchen from the dining and living spaces.  Doors off this area are to bedrooms and bathrooms.  Ecuadorean bathrooms are typically as small as you can ge them, more like those on a ship than anything else.

Our own house is a little different in that it is on a double plot 500sq.m and boasts walk in closets (Ecuadoreans have no built in areas at all)  Also, our ensuite bathroom is good and big and has a jacuzzi with all the bells and whistles, so a gringo house.  We also have a pantry/laundry area in the kitchen.
