This is the Casamia Community House, a structure built by VTN Architects, a Vietnamese architectural studio. Located at the coastal area of Cam Thanh, Hoi An city in Vietnam, the place not only boasts a very windy spot, but also a beautiful design and a large open area. The interior floor area measures 1,600 sq m (17,222 sq ft), and its arched ceiling reaches almost 9 meters high.
Elsewhere in the building lies a gym, a storage area, a medical area, a bathroom, and a kitchen. There's also a swimming pool outside. Glass doors open the building up to the outside so it can be cooled naturally, though ceiling fans are also installed, too.
As you can see from the pictures, the building is made mainly of bamboo. But thanks to its roof being thatched, the structure is not easily destructible.
… VTN Architects says that the building has been designed to be long lasting, even in the face of storms and other severe weather.
VTN Architects certainly has plenty of experience creating bamboo structures and some of its previous bamboo-based works include the Diamond Island Community Center and Vedana Restaurant.
Looks like a comfortable place to stay at. What do you think?
