Eco Vacation House of Bamboo in Costa Rica
Casa Atrevida by Luz de Piedra Arquitectos is located in the lush forest of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula.
It is an extraordinary building, with its load-bearing structure entirely depending on bamboo.
Used in supporting construction, bamboo is an earthquake-resistant structural material.
And it looks gorgeous.
But bamboo is even more important, in Costa Rica’s ecologically-minded environment.
With its fast growth cycle, it has a tiny ecological footprint.
So it is replenished fast in this jungle region with its high humidity and plentiful rainfall.
Casa Atrevida is a luxurious, environmentally friendly vacation house.
The rooms are sensitively poised between the rustic and the contemporary.
A roof garden used to cool down the interior in summers can be glimpsed here.
The site includes a year round carekeepers studio.
With five bedrooms and bathrooms able to accommodate ten guests, the simple bamboo structure offers a vacation idyll.
But it won’t come cheap.
The idyllic vacation retreat is booked year round from $2,100 to $3,500 per week, depending on the season.
