6. Tree House / Ubud, Bali, Indonesia Surrounded by jungle to the sides and rice terraces in the front, Treehouse by Pablo Luna Studio is a suite from the boutique hotel Stonehouse. It stands five meters above the ground thanks to its strong and long bamboo pillars. Also its ceiling is made from bamboo splits creating a grid-shell that derives its strength from its double curvature. The overall shape shows the integration of architecture and environment, and the relationship between space and nature. The interior floor is also made from bamboo splits that smoothly transitions into a wooden terrace. This moment in the building highlights the wall-less space that keeps indoors and outdoors as one unity. 7. 019 Cabin / Vilnius, Lithuania ŠA atelier created a transportable cabin with a structure as a set of individual elements consisting of columns, floors, walls, roof, etc. In such way the building can be transported in assembled or individual elements depending on the situation. Modular system allows to construct different sizes and configurations of the building. At the base design stage it is unknown where the building will appear. The only known context is the climate elements such as sun, wind and water. As a result, the roof of the cabin protects the structure from the heat of the sun and has a shape that collects rainwater, pours it from one plane to another and exhibits water flow. 8.
