BAMBOO LAB
Sculptures for inhabitation soften the threshold between inside and out. We build with natural materials, especially locally grown bamboo discovered as a gift from the wild.
the SANCTUARY
Nestled in the rainforest, hand‑crafted sculptures for inhabitation offer short stays in a wild space of purpose... a haven for creativity & healing.
Opportunities
The Lab opens through projects — guiding education spirals like the Imaginarium; farming; co-working experiences; bamboo workshops...
As opportunities open up they will be announced here. In the mean time, please write to us if you feel aligned with the ethos of the project and feel you have synergistic talents or ways of co-creating!
Moments of the Lab
Life in Ekawa unfolds in many different ways - building with bamboo, sharing food around the fire, swimming in the natural pool, listening to the forest at night, exploring rivers,...
These fragments tell the story of the Lab as it lives and breathes every day.
Follow along as we share glimpses of architecture, rewilding, and community... not just the polished projects, but also living moments in the experiment.
the STORY so far...
The Bamboo Lab is not a building. It is a living experiment in how bamboo can sculpt spaces for life.
It is a workshop, a playground, a gathering place where architecture grows directly from the forest.
It is also a way of living... weaving community, art, and rewilding into everyday life.
What began as an exploration of sculptural bamboo while camping on the land has grown into the seed of a village in wild nature.
Ekawa is not finished. It is always becoming.
A space where you can learn, build, stay, and live, as part of the experiment.
