At a New Restaurant in South Vietnam Dine Under a Dramatic Thatched Bamboo Canopy

︳A cascading bamboo lattice shelters diners at the new Keeng Seafood Restaurant in Long Thành, Vietnam, with a nod to the local ecology. Architecture studio BambuBuild designed an elegant hall with a thatched roof evocative of a ship’s prow, supported by columns reminiscent of nipa palms, a riverside plant common in south Vietnam.

The firm was tasked with designing a structure that would be both strong and built quickly. Thanks to a tensile strength comparable to steel and a compressive strength twice as high as concrete, the medium is sometimes called “iron bamboo.” Traditionally, a pole is used as a post, beam, or truss, but BambuBuild saw potential in a shape called a hyperbolic paraboloid, also known as a hypar or “saddle”—think of the shape of a Pringle chip. Not only does this produce graceful arches and curves, but it can carry a huge load, perfect for supporting a show-stopping canopy.

溫哥華海岸的巢穴(The Nest)度假勝地

23/10/2025

宛如世外桃源的巢穴(The Nest)，是一處遠離塵囂的度假勝地，房子被茂密的常綠樹冠環繞，可俯瞰豪灣（Howe Sound）的壯麗景色，既像一座小木屋，又像一座樹屋，如同一個超現實主義的棲息之所，溫哥華海岸的巢穴度假勝地，模糊了建築與自然的界限。是一個緊密聯繫的社區，又如同一座瞭望台般矗立於高處。棲息在濟慈島高處的「巢穴」（The Nest），距離溫哥華僅一小段渡輪航程，卻又宛如世外桃源。這座由建築師達莉亞·謝娜（Daria Sheina）設計的「巢穴」（The Nest）是一處遠離塵囂的度假勝地，其設計靈感源自於其名稱和周邊環境。房子被茂密的常綠樹冠環繞，可俯瞰豪灣（Howe Sound）的壯麗景色，既像一座小木屋，又像一座樹屋，如同一個超現實主義的棲息之所，模糊了建築與自然的界限。除了其奇特的外形外，它還為偏遠地區可持續預製設計樹立了新的標桿，在不犧牲美感的前提下，與當地建立了深厚的聯繫。濟慈島森林茂密，地勢崎嶇，是一處休閒度假勝地，島上散佈著夏季小屋，約有50名常住居民，是一個緊密聯繫的社區。該島位於島上最高點之一，其僻靜的地理位置、高聳的地形和令人嘆為觀止的全景景觀對項目的設計產生了深遠的影響，最終使這座房屋彷彿與周圍景觀融為一體，又如同一座瞭望台般矗立於高處。從建築角度來看，這棟房屋的設計理念是兩個立方體的碰撞，其中一個立方體旋轉45度，形成一個引人注目的棱角分明的輪廓。上部體塊彷彿向外旋轉，寬闊的玻璃立面向森林和天空敞開。儘管幾何形狀奇特，但房屋結構卻和諧地融入了周圍的環境，西部紅雪鬆的覆層將兩個體塊連接在一起，形成溫暖自然的表皮。隨著時間的推移，木材會逐漸褪色成銀色，柔化其幾何形狀，使房屋與周圍的景觀更加融合。
