The idea centers on crafting a holiday retreat that embraces a thatched roof and the classic shape of a traditional longhouse. It deliberately steers clear of sentimentality or blindly adhering to vernacular or critical regionalist architectural norms. The visually captivating floating reed-clad structure creates an otherworldly and captivating aesthetic. Breaking down elements like the roof, facade, and plinth highlights a creative and poetic exploration of the interplay between ancient and modern design. Despite reed's efficiency, it's rarely used in contemporary architecture.
