Bamboo Diamonds by Geotectura
Although Bamboo is usually associated with traditional building style the Bamboo Diamond prototype is a modern interpretation combining the traditional benefits of this ecological material together with the sustainable needs of today.
These are the leading principles of the design:
Structural Integrity:
Skeleton infrastructure of structural bamboo straps & lattice joists
Bamboo poles in a spatial arrangement for strength & stability
Optional reinforced brace panels
Simple girded layout
Material & Technology:
Cost effective materials
Prefabricated construction
CAD into CUT & numbered process effectiveness
Fast structural & cladding installation
Individual aesthetics adjustments on the site
Modulated system panels with different functions & colors
Double layer inner wallboard for fire protection
Insulation & acoustic layer + air gap layer
Dual glazed windows + sliding louvers
Function Flexibility:
One or two story building (120 sq.m. for up to 8 visitors)
Multiuse functionality (Family/Resort/Hybrid)
Can be attached to other Bamboo Diamonds
Different floor plan options & façade arrangements
Livable roof garden on top of the structure
Affordable investment
Ecological Responsibility:
Minimal site impact via minimal footprint on the ground
Adjustable panels according to climate & orientation
Indoor air quality through climate regulators
Passive ventilation & proprietary ventilators
Vertical and horizontal wind shafts
Sun and rain shading canopy
Natural daylight is manifested in the entire space
Organic vegetables garden using rain accumulation
Energy Concerns:
Self sufficient house
Off-the-grid electrical system
PV panels with maximum sun exposure on the roof
Passive solar gain panels for thermal storage
Wind turbine
