Casa Bambu is more than just a beach house; it is an architectural manifesto that values the conscious use of resources, technical innovation, and a deep emotional connection to a family tradition of bamboo construction. Co-designed by architect Branca Bronstein and owner Vicente Borges, the home was completed in 2018 and sits elegantly elevated on stilts (pilotis), combining structural lightness with impressive durability.
The foundation smartly mixes concrete and bamboo, while the entire primary structure is crafted from robust guadua bamboo, giving the home its unique natural character and identity. Expansive jackfruit wood (madeira de jaqueira) decks seamlessly integrate the living spaces with the lush tropical surroundings. Built using versatile wood-frame walls and finished with a highly resistant shingle roof for optimal thermal comfort, the property is a masterclass in harmonizing sustainable materials with a long-lasting lifespan.
