‘Warka House One’ is an alternative sustainable residential unit that is inspired from traditional rural houses by improving the drawbacks and still keeping the cultural features.’ A modern and better house for the villagers of the rural community that maintains the ancient local tradition of working with bamboo and other natural materials but offers higher standards of hygiene and comfort. This will have also the benefit to avoid that traditional skills will dying out.
The house is composed of 5 major spaces; Living, Sleeping (main and children), Cooking and Storage spaces. Each with natural lighting and ventilation. The floor is covered with double layer bamboo canes stacked one next to each other with proper spacing to allow stack ventilation throughout the day. Food: An integrated 25 sqm *(270 square foot) Edible Garden that will provide with fresh vegetables during 9 months of the year.
