Why Bamboo? Some facts about Bamboo, as cited in Newsweek, April 21, 2008, by Lily Huang
Pioneers are discovering that bamboo may be the most useful raw material ever to be overlooked. Although a common building material in many tropical countries, it’s considered “the poor man’s timber”. As the world goes green, however, bamboo’s essential qualities are sparking a “Bamboo Revolution™”.
Bamboo may be the strongest building material on Earth. It has greater tensile strength than steel and greater compressive strength than concrete. Bamboo’s strength lies in its ability to bend. Bamboo structures can be built in any climate. Though most often used as an alternative to timber, bamboo has an underground rhizome root system that continually regenerates the plant when the stalks are cut. It’s the world’s fastest growing plant; growing as much as 4 feet in a single day. It also produces 35 percent more oxygen from carbon dioxide than trees and more effectively binds soil to prevent erosion. The benefits cannot be underestimated!Do you have land and want to consider building out of Bamboo?

Bamboo Living Homes™
Founded in 1995, Bamboo Living has worked passionately with the International Bamboo Foundation (IBF), and in 2004 became the first company in the world to offer Internationally Code Certified (ICC-ES) approved bamboo structures.
Today, more than 150 bamboo homes grace the Hawaiian Islands, the Caribbean, the South Pacific and the US Virgin Islands.
They are beautiful, living, breathing homes, constructed much like a fine piece of artisan furniture.
