Sustainable Landscape

Designing resilient and robust gardens which are environmental friendly and climate appropriate.

What is Sustainable Landscaping?

At Bambook Studio we have been designing and installing landscapes since our beginnings in 2014. Our approach is based on the permaculture principles, where we pay special attention to the earth, the people and the natural systems. We believe that landscape needs to bring life, resiliency, diversity and regeneration and it must be designed together with the architectural systems where in combination they become allies for a better future.

How we help

Designing & Installing Sustainable Landscaping

Waste Water Gardens

Treat and reuse your waste water without the need of machines while creating beautiful and colourful gardens.

Vegetation Screens & Green Canopy

Design gardens together with the architecture to strategically provide temperature control and shading mechanisms for the habitable spaces.

Soil Retention & Stabilisation

For steep areas, design gardens with deep rooted grasses like vetiver grass that can establish quickly and that can help you retain your soil, avoid erosion and improve sediment control.

Biodiversity

Because a garden is more that just a collection of plants, biodiversity is key to create an ecosystem where a large community of plants, pollinators, birds and other organisms work together to form a balanced ecosystem.

Erosion Control & Water Infiltration

Implement Permaculture techniques such as berms, swales, retention ponds and rain gardens to control erosion during storms and improve water infiltration to replenish the underground aquifers.

Soil Management

Minimise soil moisture loss and improve its biology by nurturing it with different techniques such as adding an organic matter cover, mulching, covercrops, etc.

Storm Water Management

Implement Permaculture techniques such as green roofs, berms, swales, retention ponds, rain gardens etc to slow down water runoffs, control erosion during storms and improve water infiltration to replenish the underground aquifers.

Reinjection Wells

Implement Permaculture techniques such as green roofs, berms, swales, retention ponds, rain gardens etc to slow down water runoffs, control erosion during storms and improve water infiltration to replenish the underground aquifers.

Hardscapes

Create a mix between soft and hardscapes to enhance the architectural experience while maintaining the evapotranspiration of the ground cover.

    Owner Villa Serena Net Zero

    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 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!
