Basic Requirements

The project owner envisions a guest reception area that includes dining functions and a space for a pizza oven. The project site already has a steel-framed floor structure, which serves as a fundamental constraint set by the client.

Design Concept

Inspired by the client’s beekeeping business, the design takes its primary form from the natural structure of bees. Bamboo is chosen as the main material, leveraging its flexibility to create fluid and curved architectural forms.

Key Structural Features

1. Small Bamboo Column Structure (1” – 2”)
   Bundled together to form structural columns, allowing for three-axis curvature and enhancing structural strength.

2. Symmetrical Curved Bamboo Frame
   Bamboo columns are arranged in a symmetrical curved frame, ensuring structural balance and creating an open, spacious interior hall.

3. Grid-Like Bamboo Beams and Roof Battens
   Small bamboo poles are bound together to form beams and roof battens in a grid pattern, adding both strength and aesthetic appeal.

4. Thatched and Split-Bamboo Roof
   Natural materials are used for the roofing, allowing for a free-form structure that complements the overall architectural concept.

This design seamlessly integrates natural inspiration with construction techniques that maximize bamboo’s unique properties, resulting in a functional and architecturally distinctive space.
