Bello Bamboo founded in Australia knows first hand, like Bali, that wood products are running out and forests are over-harvested. Steel, concrete and other mined building materials are un-eco-friendly and un-sustainable materials devastating our planets air, water and soil. Metals and plastic processing and waste are toxic to people and the earth and something many of us want to move away from. The simple solution is to choose clean, green, solar passive homes of beauty using local natural resources. Bamboo is the fastest growing material and a grass that wishes us to harvest from it. Each bamboo plant can give timber yearly for sometimes a hundred years. Green School and Green Village, Bali (tour option) are a perfect example of western contemporary designs with Bali artisan building abilities. We work with top Balinese builders to give you the latest designs in Bamboo Building. Your Bello Bamboo Host, Kirsten, will take you on a tailored journey of Bamboo building and design excellence! We organise Drivers, Restaurants, and much more for a great Ubud mini-holiday! STAY at the SWASTI eco-cottages This boutique resort is magical with it s own organic vege garden & restaurant, health spa and natural environment. 5 minutes walk from the Monkey Forest of Ubud, this remarkably quiet resort is a perfect get away. The owner-builder will share his own bamboo and design techniques along side the other Ubud bamboo artisans. Book fast limited space. info@.com
