THE FIRST AND ONLY INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE CERTIFIED
BAMBOO PREFAB HOMES IN THE WORLD
We’re all dreaming of a more sustainable world.
Bamboo is the most rapidly renewable building resource on Earth. It removes
CO2 from the atmosphere, it’s an efficient use of land, it’s beautiful, strong, and
resilient.
For thousands of years the special qualities of bamboo have inspired poetry,
philosophy, and it’s a symbol for optimism, perserverance, and flexibility.
People who love our bamboo
houses tend to share those same
special qualities.
We invite you to join the growing
family of bamboo home owners
and be a part of a truly grassroots
movement. Together we can take
sustainable building to a new
shade of green.
If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty
everywhere.

THE MIRACLE OF BAMBOO
OVERVIEW
BEAUTIFUL & VERSATILE
STRONG
Bamboo has a naturally beautiful aesthetic, is unique, interesting, and authentic.
Diverse uses in everyday life: building materials, furniture, clothing, paper, high
tech, food, bio-mass, fodder, and more!
Bamboo is a strong and enduring building material. It has the same tensile
strength as mild steel, and all our homes are engineered to withstand hurricane
force winds. In 1995 Bamboo Living homes stood strong when a hurricane hit the
Cook Islands with 170mph winds.
FAST GROWING
Bamboo is a grass, and it grows like a grass: fast. Bamboo can grow to its full
height and diameter in a matter of months and be ready to harvest for structural
use in 3 to 4 years. When shooting, bamboo grows 3-4 feet per day.
SOLUTION TO
DEFORESTATION
Bamboo efficiently produces more usable timber/acre/year than trees. How? The
root system of a tree dies after harvesting and each new tree seedling must grow
a new root system. After harvesting bamboo culms, the root system does not die,
but feeds new shoots, and mature culms send carbohydrates to the new shoots.
SEQUESTERS CARBON
When sustainably harvested bamboo is transformed into long lasting durables (like
houses or properly treated building materials), the embodied CO2 is stored for
150 years, thus creating an effective carbon capture and storage system.
According to preliminary studies, each Bamboo Living 1000 sq ft house embodies
28 tons of CO2.
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the
leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue
dream of sky and for everything which is natural,
which is infinite, which is yes.

TESTIMONIALS
I wanted to say “Thank You” for envisioning and
manifesting such a beautiful dream into reality. Mahalo many times over for all your hard
work and efforts on my behalf over the last 10
months. I hope my home inspires many others
to build bamboo homes as well.
KIND WORDS
Catherine Ridder
Renee Loux
author & tv host of Green Living
We fell in love with bamboo, and the way it reflects our
values and green lifestyle. We asked David to design and
create an office for Shep, and then shortly afterwards, we
commissioned the first 2 story internationally certified bamboo home in the world. The result exceeded our expectations. Everyone that enters is struck by the artisan quality,
warmth, living-breathing materials, and organic feeling.
Jeanne Angelheart
founder and former owner of FLAX Designs
I loved co-creating with David Sands and the
good people at Bamboo Living, and was able
to adapt existing designs to my own aesthetic,
and the results are a beautiful sight to behold,
indeed, and all built from the most renewable
material on Mother Earth.
