Bamboo Architecture + Design
Welcome to our journey, where bamboo architecture merges with sustainable living which is aimed at connecting guests more deeply with nature in an immersive and unforgettable way.
It was late 2014 when we first decided upon bamboo as the main building material we wanted to work with at hideout.
Embracing Bamboo: Our Journey Towards a Sustainable and Natural Existence
We are passionate about bamboo, its beauty, its flexibility, and the way working with this amazing organic material speaks to something more deeply within us; a longing to return to a more simple and natural way of existing. We continue to consciously choose organic building solutions that promote sustainability and keep Bali clean and green.
As we continue this path, we’re making deliberate and informed choices favoring organic building methods that underscore our commitment to sustainability. Our mission aligns with keeping Bali the green paradise that it is, and we ensure that every decision made under our roof goes towards maintaining that precious balance with nature.
Bamboo in Building Construction
When it comes to building with bamboo, the possibilities and variations are endless. Although it’s a “grass”, bamboo boasts incredible strength and versatility, making it an excellent choice for construction.
While we acknowledge and respect the need for maintenance and structural considerations, we firmly believe that the benefits of bamboo outweigh any challenges. Its durability, coupled with the beauty of its natural aesthetic, makes it an exceptional choice for our accommodations.
Furthermore, bamboo isn’t merely a practical option; it’s also an environmentally friendly choice. The fast growth rate of bamboo, much quicker than that of traditional hardwoods, makes it a renewable and sustainable resource. As we continue to combat climate change, incorporating bamboo into our building practices showcases our dedication to sustainable living, without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
designing bamboo buildings
Designing bamboo buildings requires a unique approach, one that listens to the material and the land where you propose to build. At Hideout, we are sort of “DIY” bamboo architects and designers. We love to learn by doing. We also sometimes collaborate with renowned companies and talented designers, like Pablo Luna Studio and Studio WNA, who understand the intricacies of bamboo architecture, we see it as a collaborative process rather than hiring architects since we have our own experience, too.
Through thoughtful planning and execution, we create stunning bamboo hotels and furniture that blend harmoniously with nature, drawing guests into the lush surroundings of east Bali. Our efforts to date have resulted in inspiring bamboo structures that exemplify the perfect fusion of design and sustainability.
We like to push the boundaries of what is possible with bamboo and design in general at hideout. Countless shapes and concepts are explored. The first room any human ever experienced was the ‘womb’ and there are no right angles or straight lines there. With bamboo, we can bend and weave shapes from our imagination into reality. That is the process we are most passionate about.
bamboo “hotel” experience
We do not see ourselves specifically as a “hotel” or a “resort”. We are more of an eco “village” with unique architectural bamboo hotels for travellers to stay in. For many of our guests, it is their very first time staying in a bamboo hotel.
Our bamboo architecture not only captivates the eye but also provides a comfortable and inviting space for relaxation. Bamboo has a wonderful quality of regulating indoor temperature, providing acoustically pleasing spaces and clean, fresh air with natural ventilation. Indulge in the serene ambiance of being surrounded by natural materials and the seamless integration of nature into your surroundings.
striving for zero-waste and net-zero operations
We are not perfect, but we are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and looking for new solutions and ways to inspire those around us to honour this incredible planet in aesthetic and practical ways. At hideout, we implement various initiatives to achieve zero-waste operations and promote eco-friendly practices. From recycling and composting to sourcing locally and supporting the local community, every decision we make is driven by our dedication to sustainability.
