A visit to Sun Sang Eco Village is good for learning bamboo architecture and permaculture

These bamboo open spaces are very trendy now in Bali. Another option for easier maintenance, though not as aesthetically appealing, would be using some sort of upcycling material like steel containers for an open space. If you polished it and painted a striking color it could give off that urban chic look.

Steel containers require an additional roof such as a canvas sail in order to prevent the container from overheating. And yes it's an aesthetic decision. Thanks for your comments

Agree - that thatched rooftops will be hard to maintain. Bamboo Architecture is ideal for large open air community spaces not so good for smaller private bungalows with Airconditioning.
