Bamboo architecture in symbiosis with nature

ARCHITECTURE IN SYMBIOSIS

Our designs focus on the creation of sculptures for inhabitation that soften the threshold between inside and out. The surrounding nature becomes an essential part of how we experience the interior spaces. We build with natural materials, especially bamboo, which grows locally in ancient bamboo groves and is being re-discovered as a gift from the wild.

We love exploring that space of dynamic balance where levity and gravity intertwine to lift our perception of the ordinary into an experience that is extra-ordinary.  This is an architecture of sculptural form that nourishes the human condition beyond functional needs and brings insight to our truer inner self.

Each project is a space for exploration into the possibilities of bamboo and sculptural building in a rainforest setting. Collaboration with the wisdom and strength of local craftspeople as well as maintaining a flexible approach are essential to the process. This is our real-time, experiment-as-you-create ‘Bamboo Lab’.
