IBUKU Pemulung Housing Project
IBUKU
The Pemulung Housing Project is a compound housing designed by IBUKU to create healthy, organized living spaces for garbage collectors in Bali. Each house is a module with main living spaces, a mezzanine sleeping area, and a storage room for recycled materials.
Danone commissioned the Pemulung Housing Project as part of its corporate social responsibility project. It aims to provide healthy, organized housing compounds for pemulung, “waste pickers,” in Bali. Each module has a living space on the first floor, a mezzanine for sleeping, and a storage room for recycled materials. The compound has 18 housing units, several bathrooms, a kitchen, and common areas. It is made out of bamboo and recycled materials. The bamboo is used for walls and flooring, while bottles and Tetra Pak packaging are used in the roofing and insulation.
*Please note that building designs are being included as “products” in the Habitat Sector of the Solutions Library to allow readers to learn from how projects were designed and constructed and how they are serving the occupants, whether effective or ineffective.
