The Bamboo Architecture of Green Village

IBUKU, Our Green World - November 17, 2012

Geobeats video on the Green Village.

Green Village in Bali, Indonesia is an architectural gem – a dream like setting.  Built by the design team, Ibuku, a company that strives to create residences where people can maintain an ‘authentic relationship with nature’.

Green Village is constructed completely of bamboo, including the stairs, cabinets, walls and furniture. The designer’s website states “new treatment methods have given bamboo a capacity for long life. We harvest and treat all of our own bamboo, selecting for density and maturity, then lab test to confirm its integrity”.

The buildings are nothing short of beautiful spectacular. Surrounded by lush, jungle-like greenery, circular doors and floor-to-ceiling windows open to the gorgeous outdoors. The design gives a wide open, one-with-nature feel to the residences.

Bamboo stalks appear to serve as intricately placed architectural posts, while the stairs and railings depict hand carved, unique pieces of structural art.
