Ibuku

Ibuku is a design and architecture studio in Bali, Indonesia, where a team of young designers, architects and engineers explores groundbreaking ways of using bamboo to build homes, hotels, schools and event spaces. The goal is spaces where people can live in an authentic relationship with nature, and to show how sustainable architecture can redefine luxury.

The practice has developed a new design vocabulary around a single material, combining the traditional skills of Balinese craftsmen with modern engineering. Ibuku has built more than 60 bamboo structures in Bali and the region, including the Green School, Green Village, Sharma Springs and Bambu Indah Hotel. The studio of 25 design professionals, directed by founder Elora Hardy, covers architecture, interiors, furniture and research.
