In the green jungles of Bali, outside the town of
Ubud, there’s a village of 18 homes constructed almost entirely out of
bamboo. From a distance they look like jungle huts, but these are far
from it. These unique homes provide all of the comforts of a
5-star-living modern home.

|
|
The Green Village combines high-end design and sustainable architecture.
|
|
|
|
Banana paper is used for interior walls
and some aluminum for roofing, the rest is locally grown bamboo.
|
|
|
Roll down bamboo blinds and specially designed roofs help protect from
rainstorms.
|
|
|
Electricity and high-end kitchen fittings are standard in all of the
homes.
|
|
|
Bamboo staircases and walkways weave through the village.
|
|
|
The homes are centered around a single communal area. Each home has a
garden surrounding it to provide privacy.
|
|
|
The bamboo is treated with a mixture of boric acid and water to prevent
fungus and insects.
|
|
|
Dwellers can choose whether to enjoy the gorgeous jungle views from
their bed or a relaxing hammock.
|
|
|
The homes are priced between $500,000 and $2 million. But if you don’t
want to buy one, there are several that are available as rentals.
