Sri-Lanka-based designer Thilina Liyanage, who is known worldwide for his unique and expressive architectural visualizations, has recently envisioned a lotus-flower-shaped bamboo retreat villas that are made from interwoven bamboo. Liyanage’s Hideout Lotus Bamboo Villa drew inspiration from the lotus flowers and magical realism. It is a group of single-story homes forming the shape of lotus flowers rising above the ground on bent bamboo pillars amid a lush area, connecting to each other with eye-catching and graceful string of lights.

The designer modelled four bamboo structures in the green thicket. All of these structures are topped by lotus-flower-shaped homes and sit atop curved bamboo pillars.
Common Outdoor Area
Each cabin gets a common outdoor area where inhabitants can sit and relax, right below its mounted lotus-shaped living room.
The bamboo pillars stack one over the other to create protective borders around the common area while forming a tiered walking space that covers the retreat’s canopied deck.
Wooden Panels on Upper Deck Flooring
The upper deck is lined with wooden panels for its flooring, which complement the rest of the bamboo volume. The outdoor area is adorned with rattan furniture and petal ceiling fans.

Just like a lotus flower, the main villa rests on the upper deck while the bottom outdoor area feels like petals that are artfully covered over the edge. It makes the dwellers feel that they are sitting inside an actual lotus flower floating in a serene pond.
The villa’s windows are placed just behind a complex bamboo lattice that wraps the Hideout Lotus Bamboo Villa, ensuring inhabitants’ safety and security, while giving a captivating and mysterious personality to the project.
