IBUKU Bamboo Architecture and Design is an international design-build team creating luxury bamboo structures, furniture, & gardens that connect people with nature in groundbreaking ways.
Our story is a captivating one that began in a community of design innovators in Bali. In 2006, renowned jewelry designer John Hardy gathered a team to build the Green School from bamboo in order to inspire future green leaders worldwide. In 2010, John’s daughter Elora returned to Bali to continue the bamboo design revolution under the IBUKU brand. Today, our team of experts, led by Creative Director, Elora Hardy, has designed over 50 structures.
Bamboo can change the way we build, because of its strength, flexibility, and rapid growth cycle. We have developed distinct treatment and construction methods that have greatly enhanced bamboo’s lifespan as a building material.
