Build an EPIC Bamboo Home

About the EPIC Bamboo Home.

Important:

Priority will be given to those who have not joined any previous EBH builds.

All builders must be able to attend a Basic Bamboo workshop and Bamboo Advanced Builder.

What is the EPIC Bamboo Home?
We need your help to build one of the first EPIC Bamboo homes using bamboo! We would like to invite you to be part of the team building this home from 3–5 July. Join us in making EPIC Homes history as we build the fourth EPIC Bamboo Home together!

The creation of this design is in collaboration with the DB3 Team, SEAD and Ewe Jin Low’s leadership (from betterbamboobuildings.com or on Instagram @ewejinlow).

Why Bamboo?
Over the past few years, EPIC has been working with various experts to set up a sustainable treated bamboo pole industry in the Orang Asli communities as a form of economic empowerment.
We’ve decided to take a serious step into making bamboo the ideal way forward for EPIC homes as a construction material. Bamboo is a super material with many positive values given its suitability to our climate, cost effectiveness (compared to the volatile steel prices), positive environmental impact and potential for it to improve livelihoods of the OA themselves.

FAQ

1. How is this build different from the last bamboo prototype build in PARC?

The last bamboo prototype EPIC Home was a prototype for us to test different components and designs that would be used for this build! The last build was built in PARC but this build will be going towards an actual orang asli family to use.
