Speehuis House / Spee Architecten

Completed in 2021 in Oisterwijk, The Netherlands. Images by Ossip van Duivenbode. Speehuis is not only unique in its appearance and location but above all, for its very sustainable and healthy design. The energy-neutral design...

“ The house is surrounded by a wooded area and built adjacent to a fen. By raising the house and providing verandas, which consist of bamboo slats and a recycled composite on all sides, there is a fine line between nature and the house which leaves the great outdoors to be easily accessible. As the garden is given back to nature and is devoid of the enclosure, the plot flows into the forest, offering beautiful views. The facade and the sloping roof are finished with untreated ‘high density’ bamboo-composite slats which, due to their natural appearance, completely blend in with the verdant surroundings.

he house is made of circular and biobased materials, which can be disassembled and adapted. For example, the facade and the sloping roof are made of untreated 'high density' (biobased) bamboo slats. The exterior walls and sloping roof, for example, comprise untreated biobased 'high density' bamboo cladding with a concealed click-fixing system that can be conveniently dismantled. During the process applied to manufacture the 'high-density bamboo – in which bamboo fibers and resin are compressed at high temperature – the natural sugar in the bamboo caramelizes, rendering it resistant to rot and therefore suitable for untreated application. ”
