Casa Mona is designed as a model to promote cultural innovation, showcasing Guadua bamboo construction as a high-quality, contemporary architectural solution for freestanding, single-story buildings in tropical environments. The prototype offers a sustainable alternative to non-renewable materials, adaptable to various programs and climates. It is highly earthquake-resistant and creates harmonious spaces that foster a deep connection to nature, all while allowing seamless interaction between the interior and the outdoors.

The building's structural concept revolves around the separation of its envelope from the supporting framework. The roof structure is entirely bamboo, composed of two-dimensional frames connected by longitudinal beams. The simplicity of the frame's shape and size makes assembling, supplying, and transporting the components straightforward.

By separating the roof structure from the envelope and interior partitions, the design not only enhances earthquake resilience by isolating components with different material frequencies, but also allows for flexibility in space configuration. This adaptability makes the building suitable for diverse climates, locations, and budgets, as material choices can be easily tailored to each context.

For this particular design, the outer walls are constructed from locally made handmade bricks, strategically placed in areas where privacy and thermal mass absorption are essential. These walls also serve to protect the bamboo structure from direct exposure to the sun and rain.
