Built near a wonderful lake, this modern 2-story house built with natural building materials and numerous large windows, takes maximum advantage of the spectacular views of the sunrise and sunsets. The first floor is a reinforced concrete structure with large horizontal beams that allow a totally open space with a bamboo flooring between the 1st and 2nd story, showing the stunning beauty of combining materials. In this space is found an ample social area with living room, dining room, kitchen and a large bamboo-covered outdoor deck. The 2nd floor is a completely bamboo structure and features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Its tall roofs and large windows, in addition to make it feel “slimmer”, actually help create a liveable and comfortable environment within. This is a great example that natural building materials can also be used for modern building and the latest architectural trends. Like every CASSA home, it integrates all elements of sustainability: rainwater capture, water cistern for storage, pump for redistribution inside the house, solar panels that produce clean and free electricity, LED lighting, gray water separation and reutilization in a family garden, and an underground black water treatment system.
