Work with us

Our services

From the first sketch to the final installation, we bring design, engineering, and making together. Explore a service to see how we can help.

Architecture & design

Turn an idea into a structure people can experience.

We develop bamboo spaces for festivals, public places, venues, exhibitions, and private gatherings—from the first sketch to a design ready to build.

  • Concept sketches, scale models, and renders
  • Geometry, materials, connections, and design development
  • Festival submissions, grant applications, and permit drawing packages

Structural engineering

Resolve the structure, connections, and site requirements.

We work through structural analysis and joinery for bamboo architecture, using ISO 22156 as the design basis and coordinating with the review requirements of your site.

  • Structural calculations and load paths
  • Lashed, bolted, and hybrid connections
  • Wind and crowd loading, safety reviews, and permitting coordination

Project management & construction

One coordinated process from fabrication to installation and strike.

We bring together the crew, fabrication, transport, and site logistics needed to turn drawings into a built experience. We can lead the installation or work alongside your own team.

  • Fabrication planning, crew scheduling, and build leadership
  • Shipping, staging, equipment, and site coordination
  • Bamboo build training, installation, and clean strike

Lighting & interactive experiences

Bring structures to life through light, sound, and interaction.

We integrate lighting and interactive systems with the architecture, from solar lanterns and programmed light sequences to projection and sound.

  • Lighting concepts and interactive systems
  • Software tools for exploring and programming light
  • Coordination of structure, power, lighting, and sound

Components & bamboo supply

Materials and prefabricated parts for your own build.

We supply treated, graded structural bamboo and develop prefabricated components that can be shipped and assembled by your crew.

  • Structural poles, arches, trusses, and panels
  • Custom fabrication and assembly-ready kits
  • Assembly drawings and documentation

Consulting & project development

Find a practical way forward for your concept, site, and budget.

Bring us an early idea or a project already in progress. We can help you assess feasibility, select materials, plan the build, and prepare for reviews and applications.

  • Feasibility, scope, and budgeting
  • Material sourcing and fabrication strategy
  • Permitting, festival applications, and grant support
