final renders

rendered floor plan

 I want the beach house can give people organic and natural feeling, that is the reason I use timber, rattan and bamboo as materials. I put bathroom in the middle of house because I want to give bedroom more privacy, rather than if people want to go bathroom they need pass bedroom to getting there. Bathroom like a facade, give privacy but also bring open space idea to the beach house. I use bamboo and rattan as flooring material, make same patterns but use different material, so kind like use each material to identify each space. Two side external french windows cover by blind, blind can block sunlight and decreased interior temperature when sunlight direct through french windows to inside house.

my inspiration was from lace making, I like inter spaces of lace, and the flexibility of this technical.

traditional hand craft and material

After research about Sri Lanka's traditional handicraft and materials, I decide use Lace making as my technical, and use cadjan (palm leaves), bamboo, and brick as my materials.

cadjan Plaited leaves of the coconut palm which are used to thatch roofs in some rural house. In earlier times, cadjans covered less lowly roofs as well.

lace making

bobbin lace making youtube
Bobbin lace (or pillow lace) takes its name from the way it is made: on a  firm pillow to which a pricked-out pattern is tacked and each twist of the bobbins is held in place by a pin.  For all its intricate and elegant appearance, there are only two different movements of bobbins in the formation of the lace: the twist and the cross. 

bobbins type

Roller- many shapes  

but nearly all with a roller embedded in pillow.                            These are good for most continuous laces; like edgings, flounces, trims etc.
