From the Thames & Hudson "Nano House" book

Thames & Hudson "Nano House" - Another great compact house
"Under the Moon" house in Guanacaste, Costa Rica (732 sq ft)

"This house was built with bamboo cut from a family farm during a full moon (then cured with diesel and dried in the shade), and capped with a corrugated tin roof". (Thames & Hudson p. 48)

"this house is full of neat tricks for encouraging ventilation and natural light" (Thames & Hudson p. 51)

"inside, screens are made from bamboo-cut to create a more enclosed environment, while still allowing for flow of light and air" (thames & hudson p.50)
