# Single-Storey Bamboo Homes Vilela Florez's House is Ultra-Modern with a Distinct Artisan Flair By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-06-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-home References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/06/13/vilela-florez-designs-bamboo-house-herringbone-exterior-rural-brazil/) & [vilelaflorez](https://www.vilelaflorez.com/) Architecture firm Vilela Florez built a beautiful [single-storey bamboo home in rural Brazil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-cabin) that perfectly ties in with the surrounding lush environment. The chevron-patterned exterior of the house is boldly broken down and divided with dark concrete poles, which create a contemporary and chic aesthetic. As well as feeding into the vibe of the house, the pattern of the building also doubles as a thermo-insulation. Vilela Florez's choice of materials reflects a strong nature-focused approach that is sure to provide a wholesome experience for the residents of the house — "a couple and their sons who occasionally visit." Completed with a swimming pool and an inviting [lush patio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bi-design-house), the bamboo home was built in only 10 months.
