bamboo, rattan, and seagrass solutions by caneplexus for climate-responsive architecture

"Caneplexus translates natural fibers such as bamboo, rattan, and seagrass into active elements across hospitality and residential architecture. The natural ceilings, partitions, and shading elements become tools for shaping nature-friendly atmospheres, functioning as breathable layers within a space."

"Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, Caneplexus adapts woven systems for contemporary applications. Their wide range of options in natural building materials includes panels from bamboo, willow, branches, foliage, handmade weaves, and wallpapers lined with natural materials. For each product, the brand goes through a selective cultivation, considering a specific harvest time, natural drying, and hot air drying when necessary."

"Within a minimalist design approach, Unda Hotel, designed by Ixnos Architects, incorporates an extensive use of natural materials, such as stone, timber, and woven cane. These elements, combined with the planted roofs, seamlessly integrate the building volumes into Corfu's landscape, creating an organic connection between the architecture and the natural environment."
