BUILDING GREEN

摘要

Neither David Hornblow nor his daughter, Amelia, ever envisioned owning a house on Bali, much less a bamboo aerie perched precipitously above a river. The family's jungle adventure began some three years ago, when, on vacation, they paid a visit to Green Village, a planned community of bamboo residences just outside the ancient inland town of Ubud. "We were instantly seduced by its sense of peace and harmony," recalls David, a British graphic designer and artist who lives in London for most of the year. "I was spellbound by the buildings and the utter versatility of the material-everything from tiny nails to massive structural elements was constructed entirely in bamboo."
