Rising above the sands of Mertasari Beach in Denpasar, the 84-square-meter structure transforms a disused <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/parking-areas\/\"><strong>car park<\/strong><\/a> into a living community hub, an open meeting space that merges environmental performance with social purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a city where coastal construction is often driven by tourism, BaleBio serves as a prototype for buildings that store carbon instead of emitting it and that house collective needs. Its design draws on the Bale Banjar, the traditional village hall central to Balinese social life, reinterpreting its open and inclusive layout through contemporary engineering and a new understanding of ecological responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>all images by Iwan Sastrawan for Bauhaus Earth<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">barrel-vaulted roof shades the BAMBOO PAVILION<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The sweeping, barrel-vaulted roof of the pavilion rises 8.5 meters above the beach. Crafted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caveurban.com\/\"><strong>multidisciplinary design studio<\/strong><\/a> Cave Urban for the Bauhaus Earth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bauhauserde.org\/\"><strong>research institution<\/strong><\/a> from slender bamboo rafters and clad in pelupuh (flattened bamboo), the canopy offers natural ventilation and passive cooling. Beneath it, a structural frame of laminated petung bamboo, locally sourced, resin-bonded, and compressed, delivers the strength and precision of steel or timber without the associated carbon cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All components were grown, processed, and assembled in Indonesia, establishing a circular supply chain. Construction combined traditional joinery techniques with precision-engineered fittings. Locally sourced volcanic rock, lime plaster, and repurposed terracotta roof tiles contribute to thermal mass and reduce embodied energy, integrating bio-based, geo-based, and reused materials into a coherent system.<\/p>\n<p>designed by Cave Urban for Bauhaus Earth\u2019s ReBuilt initiative<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">from cradle to construction: beyond zero emissions<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A life cycle assessment conducted by environmental engineering consultancy Eco Mantra confirmed BaleBio as verifiably carbon-negative from cradle to construction. The project records an 110% reduction in embodied carbon compared with a conventional build, saving over 53 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to planting more than 2,400 trees. In quantitative terms, its carbon outcome stands at \u20135,907 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent against a baseline of nearly 60,000 kg.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This rigorous evaluation extends the impact of the project beyond aesthetics or symbolism. By treating the building itself as a test case for a new value chain, Bauhaus Earth and its partners demonstrate the feasibility of carbon-negative construction at an architectural, social, and industrial scale.<\/p>\n<p>this bamboo pavilion pioneers carbon-negative architecture in Bali<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">a regenerative anchor for local life<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since opening, BaleBio has become a gathering point for residents and visitors alike. What was once a neglected urban plot has turned into a public stage, classroom, and meeting place, reactivating local participation through design. The project\u2019s collaborative process, with contributions from Warmadewa University, community organizations, and local artisans, makes sure that the pavilion remains rooted in its cultural context even as it experiments with global standards of sustainable construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For its combined achievements in material innovation, carbon performance, and civic value, BaleBio received three major international distinctions in 2025: the Australian Good Design Award for Social Impact, a commendation from the Built by Nature Prize, and Gold in Excellent Architecture at the German Design Award in the Circular Design and Fair &amp; Exhibition categories.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These accolades highlight the broader ambition of the project to redefine what good design means in an age of climate urgency. BaleBio is part of Bauhaus Earth\u2019s ReBuilt initiative, which seeks to catalyze systemic change in the construction industry through applied research, bio-based materials, and the development of cities as natural carbon sinks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the sweeping, barrel-vaulted roof of the pavilion rises 8.5 meters above the beach<\/p>\n<p>the design draws on the Bale Banjar<\/p>\n<p>reimagining the traditional communal spaces of the island for a changing climate<\/p>\n<p>crafted from slender bamboo rafters and clad in pelupuh<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the project records an 110% reduction in embodied carbon compared with a conventional build<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>BaleBio positions itself as a prototype for buildings that store carbon instead of emitting it<\/p>\n<p>a structural frame of laminated petung bamboo delivers the strength and precision of steel or timber<\/p>\n<p>all components were grown, processed, and assembled in Indonesia<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Bauhaus Earth and its partners demonstrate the feasibility of carbon-negative construction<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>locally sourced volcanic rock, lime plaster, and repurposed terracotta roof tiles contribute to thermal mass<\/p>\n<p>integrating bio-based, geo-based, and reused materials into a coherent system<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong> BaleBio Pavilion<\/p>\n<p><strong>concept:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bauhauserde.org\/\">Bauhaus Earth<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bauhaus_earth\/\">@bauhaus_earth<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>design:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caveurban.com\/\">Cave Urban<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/caveurban\/\">@caveurban<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Mertasari Beach, Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia<\/p>\n<p><strong>area:<\/strong> 84 square meters<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>structural engineering:<\/strong> Atelier One<\/p>\n<p><strong>project management:<\/strong> Bamboo Village Trust<\/p>\n<p><strong>community engagement:<\/strong> Kota Kita, Warmadewa University<\/p>\n<p><strong>government engagement:<\/strong> Gamalaw<\/p>\n<p><strong>LCA analysis:<\/strong> Eco Mantra<\/p>\n<p><strong>manufacturing:<\/strong> Indobamboo, Kaltimber, Bhoomi, Bamboo Pure, Wedoo, Rothoblaas<\/p>\n<p><strong>materials:<\/strong> structural laminate bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper), reclaimed volcanic rock, recycled terracotta tiles, lime-plastered earth<\/p>\n<p><strong>carbon outcome:<\/strong> \u20135,907 kg CO\u2082e vs conventional baseline (~59,722 kg CO\u2082e)<\/p>\n<p><strong>funding:<\/strong> German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN)<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iwansastrawan\">Iwan Sastrawan<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/carbon-negative-bamboo-pavilion-cave-urban-life-disused-car-park-bali-bauhaus-earth-11-03-2025\/\">carbon-negative bamboo pavilion by cave urban gives new life to disused car park in bali<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BALEBIO PIONEERS CARBON-NEGATIVE ARCHITECTURE IN BALI \u00a0 BaleBio, a bamboo pavilion designed by Cave Urban for Bauhaus Earth\u2019s ReBuilt initiative, pioneers carbon-negative architecture in Bali while reimagining the traditional communal spaces of the island for &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
