Bamboo Culture

Bamboo architecture studio on Koh Phangan, Thailand. We design and build homes and structures from bamboo, by hand, close to the land.

We are Bamboo Culture.

A bamboo architecture studio on Koh Phangan, Thailand. We design and build houses and structures from bamboo, by hand, with a small team.

Here we'll share our projects, the craft behind them, and an eco-village we're shaping on a forested hillside.

clay from the hillside, bamboo from the grove next door
our craftsmen mix it with their feet, a little rice husk, a lot of patience
by evening the wall already smells like rain

@rentremote today from a bamboo floor in the jungle on Koh Phangan, rain on the roof and very slow wifi. no complaints

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@janesinsights rattan next to powder coated steel is such a Canggu combo. would love to read one about the Gulf islands too, bamboo is having a quiet moment there

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@kyleAzellner Koh Tao therapy is real. next time hop over to Phangan, tea in our bamboo space in the jungle is on us

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@MysteryMind that Gulf of Siam light is so Phangan. we see boats like this most mornings from the hill where our team works. next time you're on the island come up for tea

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@nomadscom chiang mai real talk nights are the best ones. if anyone heads down to the gulf islands after, Koh Phangan has a quieter jungle side worth seeing

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@tmtrdorg so glad Squid made it. what you've done for the dogs in Thailand since 2011 is real. our island has plenty of soi dogs too, respect to everyone out there feeding them

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@PatrickHiebert @VeritasVillages villages built around a freer life, we think about this a lot. our team on Koh Phangan is dreaming up something like that with bamboo and clay. if you're ever in Thailand come for tea

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@CompoundingUp two nights in a row of earnings calls in a coliving, that guy is committed lol. shared spaces always produce the best characters

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@matthiaslaroche fair point, Bangkok is a real city for building. the islands are for something else. we're on Koh Phangan and here it's more about slowing down enough to think clearly

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@RyanKnuppel 12 years and still trying new setups, love it. best desk we've found so far is a low bamboo table with the jungle right outside, no monitor competes with that

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@Sdudenhoeffer_ the environment part is so underrated. people change faster when the forest is around them. curious how the jungle side of the experiment goes, we see it a lot on Koh Phangan

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@mvrsn_dev a hexagonal house built by hand as your office this month, that's a good month. building another one on the hill during breaks is the best kind of break. our team builds with bamboo and clay on Koh Phangan, if you ever trade Portugal for the jungle come have tea

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@mywinepal nice to see this in the Okanagan. we try to leave the soil a bit better than we found it around every bamboo build here on Koh Phangan, slow work but worth it

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@Dng10644694 monkey bridges are pure genius, a few culms and a lot of trust in your feet. our craftsmen would love to see one in person. and if you ever come down to Koh Phangan the tea is on us

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@Texascopywriter 10 years of working with nature instead of against it, you can feel it in how you write about it. our team sees the same on our hillside, once the soil is alive everything gets easier

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@the_funkyturtle small programs add up, especially on islands. from the neighbours on Koh Phangan, keep going. if you're ever on our side come for tea in our bamboo space in the jungle

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@Rainmaker1973 finally. here in Thailand the good sanctuaries let elephants just be elephants, hope Indonesia goes the same way

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@theGEF @turkiyecop31 patience is the part nobody puts in the reports. the forest on our island taught our team the same thing, the people who live there know the land better than any plan

[Bamboo Culture @BambooCultureCo]

@BASCcentral 50,000 native trees and 35 ponds since 2015, that's a life's work. respect to Jim
