Our story
Inspired by
the lotus.
Sharma Springs was designed by IBUKU, the Bali studio known worldwide for its bamboo architecture, and built by the master craftsmen of Bamboo Pure. Finished in 2013 as a family home, it became known as the tallest bamboo building in Bali.
Its shape began with a lotus flower. A central tower of bamboo holds a smaller tower inside it, which is what lets the house reach so high. Around it, each petal holds a room with its own story.
The house has since been featured on CBS This Morning and on the front page of New York magazine.

Arrive by bridge
A 15-metre tunnel of woven bamboo carries you from the hillside straight onto the fourth level, where open-air living, dining and kitchen float above the valley.
Rooms like petals
Four bedrooms, a library and a play room, each shaped like a lotus petal and each with its own character. Full-height spinning glass doors close for cool, air-conditioned calm.
Made by hand
Petung bamboo forms the structure and Wolong bamboo the rafters, over reclaimed ulin-wood floors. Master metalsmiths shaped the showers, and stone carvers from Java turned boulders into kitchen counters.
The lookout
At the very top, a sixth-floor lookout catches the sunset over the jungle canopy.
