Elwood Bamboo

Sustainable Interior Design

The Elwood Bamboo House project focused on creating sustainable, stylish kitchen and bathroom spaces, carefully designed to minimize environmental impact without compromising on beauty or functionality. By incorporating eco-friendly materials like renewable bamboo cabinetry, reclaimed timber, and handmade tiles from local artisans, every element was chosen to reflect the home’s commitment to sustainability. The bathroom blends bamboo with reclaimed ironbark timber and unique fishscale tiles, while the kitchen features a functional layout with thoughtful details, including a large pantry, integrated laundry, and copper accents. The result is a harmonious and eco-conscious home that perfectly suits the client’s needs.

The bathroom at Elwood Bamboo House was designed with sustainability at its core, meeting the challenge of creating eco-friendly spaces without compromising on style. Bamboo cabinetry pairs beautifully with reclaimed ironbark timber tops, bringing warmth and natural texture to the design. Handmade fishscale tiles by a local artisan add a unique personality, while clever storage solutions ensure the space is as practical as it is beautiful. Thoughtfully designed and sustainably crafted, this bathroom perfectly reflects the eco-conscious ethos of the home.

 

The kitchen at Elwood Bamboo House was designed for a family who loves to cook, blending functionality with eco-friendly materials and thoughtful details. Bamboo cabinetry provides a sustainable and stylish foundation, while a large pantry and cleverly integrated laundry with a drying cupboard ensure the space meets the demands of a busy household. Copper kickers add warmth and a touch of elegance, beautifully complemented by Moroccan pendant lights that bring character and charm. The result is a highly practical yet inviting kitchen, perfect for family life.
