Bamboo!

November 11, 2016


Abiansemal, Bali
Today we visited the Green (montesory style) School, a bamboo lumber and furnitature factory, and a collection of modern luxury bamboo homes at "bamboo village."  These projects are a group of work by jewerly designer John Hardy.  The homes were designed by Ibuku luxury bamboo design.



"Heart of the School" - Green School
Bridge to the neighboring Balinese Village - Green School
Mud Play Pit - Green School

River & Hydro-electric turbine - Green School

In partnership with the local community, Ibuku provides local farmers with bamboo seedlings that in approximatly 5 years will be suitable for purchase by Ibuku for use in buildings.  At this factory they carefully select, grade, dry, treat and process bamboo from partner farmers.
