Louvers allow for privacy and natural cross-ventilation to keep the interior cool.
Guadua bamboo poles act as the main structure for the buildings.
Strips of the poles are used to form facade louvers and the flattened poles create the signature roof structure.
Smaller poles from Phyllostachys Aurea bamboo are used in the annex building for the wall and facade panels.
The project is finished with durable wood floors from local Cumaru timber.
