| Featured projects Applying extensive treated bamboo screening<br />

underneath, the otherwise solid metal roofs of the<br />

huts are transformed into a lightweight canopy.<br />

Each of the four metal roofs are supported with<br />

a cluster of twisting structural steel columns that<br />

terminates at the apex with a circular skylight – a<br />

mimicry of the existing perimeter trees that are<br />

reaching towards the sky.<br />

A similar approach is reiterated in the unique<br />

semi-outdoor bathrooms throughout the<br />

entire development. The central skylight with<br />

a wooden trellis veil enlivens the interior of the<br />

bathrooms in the entrance plaza zone, while<br />

preventing rainwater from splashing into the<br />

space. Another example is found in the Amazon<br />

River Quest zone. The open-air wash basin area<br />
