The Bamboo Housing Challenge

Open Call For Design Proposals:

A collaboration between Bamboo U and the Base Bahay Foundation. Much of today's housing meets budgets but fails people and the planet. We MUST design homes that are accessible, sustainable, and truly livable. Join us to reimagine the future of bamboo housing for all.

Invitation to architects, designers, engineers, and creative thinkers worldwide to develop a 10,000 USD house as a prototype to scale across the tropical regions of the world.

Most designers spend years creating ideas that never leave the page. This is different.

Selected designers will see their work move from concept to construction, supported by world-class experts and build it during an immersive 11-day design-and-build course in Bali.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE:
15th March Winning proposal will be built at full-scale in October 2026.
