The Bamboo House of Benjamin Garcia Saxe

A bamboo house nestled among trees, surrounded by a forest, an aloe vera planted in the dirt floor of the living room, and a cone-shaped dome that opens to the sky revealing the natural elements of the forest, an oasis of simplicity and tranquility where you only hear the loud noise of the crickets at sunset and the birds singing at dawn.... This is the lovely house that Benjamin Garcia Saxe has built for his mother in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
" A Forest for a Moon Dazzler," the small bamboo structure designed by UK-based architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe has won first prize in the private house category at the world architectural festival held this year in Barcelona. This unique forest home features two separate modules - a kitchen/living-area on one end and a bedroom space on the other with a courtyard/garden in between.
"My mom and I never had a place we could call home.... always dreaming of a place we could be together."
