The use of bamboo in home building is growing. There are many reasons for choosing this beautiful and versatile material for houses including environmental, structural, and aesthetic properties. It takes an acre of trees to build a typical house, but because bamboo grows so quickly and densely, the bamboo for a house can grow in an area the size of the house itself. Additionally, bamboo's strength exceeds that of construction wood by several times. With Bamboo Living, homebuyers can choose from 20 house models and select sizes, floor plans, options, costs, details, and finishes to their needs and tastes. |
