In the Libertador Bolívar Commune of the Santa Elena province, 12 houses are build based on this design (Bamboo Houses Libertador Bolivar)
The house has one floor (living/dining room, 2 or 3 bedrooms, kitchen with counter and dishwasher, bathroom with toilet, sink and shower).
The ground floor is 42 m² (6x7m). Within the construction system, the ground floor can easily be extended up to 60 m² (6x10m).
The surface of the concrete base is 56 m² (7x8m), expandable up to 77 m² (7x11m), that of the ceiling 74 m² (8.4×8.8m), expandable up to 99 m² (8.4×11.8m ).
The volume of the house is 140 m³, expandable up to 200 m³. An average social housing construction has 100 m³.
The house is sustainable, due to the use of bamboo for the structure and for the caña picada of the walls and ceilings.
Bamboo grows fast and is CO₂ neutral. The construction of this bamboo house is an effective remedy in the fight against climate change.
In addition, the bamboo on the ceiling and walls creates a pleasant climate inside the house.
The use of bamboo and the construction of the houses by the inhabitants, generates sustainable work in the poorest areas of the country.
