Roewu Architects from the UK have recently completed the 'bamboo forest house' a vacation house located in taiwan. designed to accommodate an extended family, the house has an unusual exterior with its bamboo screen. a karaoke lounge and a roof deck also make up areas in this house. the treated bamboo facade was incorporated into the design to provide privacy and security whilst still allowing natural light and air to flow in.
On entering the house the experience is akin to being surrounded by an organic forest. Sun light, air and shadows filter through the bamboo poles into the spaces within. The mood and quality of the spaces changes during the course of a day and shifts with the changing seasons.
In winter, a Karaoke Lounge and Spa on the second floor, form a focal point for bathing or singing. During summer, the roof deck with its variably patterned sun-shade system and surrounding bamboo, invites cooling breezes and becomes the family's favourite spot for outdoor living.
