The ground and first floor is an elliptical shape in plan. The roof is long sweeping with deep over hangs, of traditional batak and karo roof style out of bamboo shingles. An elliptical light well pierces through the centre of the roof to ground floor with an openable glass roof, improving natural light and air-circulation. Through very passive means, the design offers the user a comfortable environment in this often humid and hot climate. The beautiful bamboo columns, clumped naturally together, remove the need of walls. This creates a light and open building, blurring the line of inside and out.

whole construction of the building is made out of bamboo. Only the closed rooms at the ground floor are built out of brick walls and clay plaster. In collaboration with the German-Columbian bamboo expert Joerg Stamm, a light and open structure was created. The “kapal bambu“ and the whole interior including furniture has been designed and built under the swiss architect Lukas Zollinger. At peak time, a construction team of 65 locals artisans and foreign volunteers were involved on the site.

Our design and construction solutions begin with the humble materials from its surroundings.&nbsp; While our architecture firm’s expertise is in bamboo, OCCO Living’s design lab has experience working with elements such as coconut, marble and various local natural fibres. Innovation, craftsmanship, and development are at the core of our firm, where we constantly find new ways to create structures and products that create a lasting positive impact in our communities. We have worked with various clients around Asia and Europe such as luxury resorts, private clients, NGOs and government agencies.

Thank you very much for your interest!&nbsp; What to expect&nbsp; Bamboo belongs to the tropics. It is a miracle material that can solve many construction and design challenges in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, from climate resilience to material sustainability. When we learn how to harness its versatile and ecological qualities, we can build stronger reinforced homes in a better environment. Hosted by award-nominated bamboo architectural and industrial design firm OCCO Living, we invite you to a 6-day bamboo workshop on “Sustainable Building and Design with Bamboo” from 5 - 10 September, 2022 on Siargao Island in the Philippines. Learn hands-on about the principles of building and designing with the giant grass for sturdy and resilient typhoon shelter homes and innovative structures. The intensive workshop will tackle specific construction techniques on two workshop projects: an A-Frame Bungalow and an 8-meter Water Tower, built based on bamboo master builder Jörg Stamm’s principles. These techniques are essential in rebuilding homes that can withstand strong winds and earthquakes as the island recovers from the devastation of Typhoon Rai (Odette). Don’t miss the only chance working with the experts Jorg Stamm&nbsp; and Munir Vahanvati - their first ever workshop in the Philippines! Through this workshop, you will learn about: 📍Designing with the giant grass, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;bamboo 📍&nbsp;Reinforcement principles on load &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and strength against strong winds &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and earthquakes 📍Joinery techniques 📍Traditional bamboo working tools 📍Different treatment methods 📍Planting and harvesting methods
