Their Experimental Tree House Puts a New Building Material to the Test
After 15 years of research, a mother and son assembled Australia’s first home made of structural laminated bamboo.
Step inside this sun-drenched cabin in Australia’s Blue Mountains and you’ll find yourself exhaling. The serene space floating above a tranquil lake invites quiet contemplation—first of the landscape and then of the structure’s unique materials. The 388-square-foot home is the physical manifestation of 15 years of research into bamboo as a building material by mother-and-son team Nici and Jed Long of the Sydney-based design studio Cave Urban.
