Paula is one of the most inspiring, down to earth entrepreneurs I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Where sustainability, brilliant ideas and loving kindness meet. Her net-zero architecture inspired us to live more sustainably. Her vision and perseverance is unprecedented. Working with her is a no brainer, I know we will.

We worked with Bambook in 2021 as our Sustainability Consultant on our Sustainability Framework planning and stakeholders eco-charrette for our Mandala Eco-Village project in Lombok – Paula was brilliant in leading this workshop where her experience in this field was a key factor in collecting all opinions from our field experts and driving the brainstorming session from start to finish, and providing us with a quality sustainability report that sets all the guidelines needed to deliver our project.

Kevin Deisser

CEO Founder Invest Islands

We had been searching for pioneers who have the courage, motivation and innovative ideas to try a new waste management pilot in Southern Lombok. Paula Huerta and her office Bambook Studio, not only has their team compassionately dedicated their time and resources to deliver, but instead they now became the main sustainability driver of the project and beyond. Would always be happy if there would be opportunities for collaboration again in the future.

We have worked with Bambook team on several Residential & commercial projects and have been impressed by their understanding of renewable energy  and the importance of energy efficiency. The difference with other consultancies is especially showing when it comes to the implementation, their hands-on and practical know-how is impressive and a real value add for the project developer.

Marc Pop

CEO Founder Smart Energy

Since my first visit to Lombok to look for a plot to build a villa on in 2018 she has been helping us greatly as a designer, an architect, a construction project manager and a good family friend. Bambook kept us well informed on the progress during the material selection and construction and the villa was built on budget cost and timeline wise despite the pandemic. Our experience does not end there as Paula is always there to help and provide us with advice and recommendation when we need.

Bambook for me is talent at service of people and nature. Paula & the team have manage to create beauty while keeping the highest sustainable standards, it’s always a joy to collaborate and learn from them.

Pablo Luna

From Pablo Luna Studio

In the pursuit of making an ecological difference while being in the construction business, we were recommended to contact Paula from PT Bambook, which turned out to be one of the project’s cornerstones. The importance of sustainable approach from the moment of setting up foundation until laying down last brick is especially needed in Indonesia. Paula has done an extensive work – sharing her experience and knowledge from energy efficiency to MEP optimization, to sustainable materials and waste management, as well as setting standards for our team!

We have worked with Bambook Studios now on two villa projects in Lombok and there isn’t anyone else we would work with here. Not only do they have great design skills and are extremely professional, responsive and detail oriented, they have the on the ground experience to navigate the issues that you may come up against building in a location like Lombok. This has been invaluable to us and has meant that we’ve been able to deliver our villas on time and on budget. We truly believe you need Bambook Studios on your team for a hassle free building experience!

Tom Merret & Lucy Elliot

Owner Villa Alba - Real Estate Reef Property Lombok

Bambook Studio were responsible for architectural, structural and sustainable design of our project as well as construction coordination. The team, with Paula at the helm, is extremely professional and fully committed to delivering the highest quality of services. I’m pretty sure without Bambook’s expertise and construction coordination effort, our project would not have been delivered so quickly. Highly recommended!

We recently had Paula Huerta speak at NTU CCA IdeaFest, on the 2023 edition titled FOOD Eat. Secure. Sustain. Paula Huerta was the keynote speaker advocating Circular Economy and presenting her pioneering projects in Indonesia that aim to promote food security as well as a healthier planet. Not only was Huerta well received by the public she was easy to work with, personable and spent extra time interacting with the delegates. Her high energy and enthusiasm were amazing.

In this sense, she shows us a high commitment to changing the current thinking of traditional policy intervention waste management to become more lucrative opportunities and ultimately inclusive.

Paula as founder of project Lombok Eco flea market, she is an example of sustainability, not just in a professional or business capacity but also in the way she educates, and involves the community to establish more circular economy standards, eco -friendly and sustainable practices to improve their lifestyle and ecopreneurship.

You want to be sustainable- her studio is your correct guide. Highly recommend it!

We have consulted with Paula several times on our school and community projects, she helped us set up a Black Soldier Fly breeding station and introduce this to the local community to use as feed for their chickens, she gave a presentation to the whole school (primary and secondary students) about Circular Economy to show us the importance of sustainable practices in our consumption choices. In general Paula has been an important mentor for the students and the community on promoting environmentally sustainable ideas and action.
