Is a project put together by collectif L E S S.

​

Use of bamboo ( natural material with amazing properties ) in an urban environment. 

The contrast between this never completed  concrete structure and the bamboo facade is very interesting and appealing.

​

Mauritius being an island, most construction materials are imported and the use of bamboo is related to the fact that it grows locally and is very under stated.

​

We collaborated with 1st and 2nd year architecture students from ENSA Nantes/Mauritius through the whole process. We also asked them to come up with a more contemporary way of using bamboo to create a piece of furniture.
