A LIVING SHOWCASE OF STRUCTURAL BAMBOO

At HOB, we recognised a fundamental gap in the construction and design industry, not a lack of awareness of bamboo’s aesthetic value, but of its architectural and structural potential.

So we built something to shift that perception.

Our Sydney headquarters transforms a 1950s warehouse into a living demonstration of what’s possible when engineered bamboo is integrated at every level of design and construction. It is one of the first commercial buildings in Australia to use structural bamboo as its core material.

From the prefabricated beams, structural elements, to flooring, joinery, acoustic linings and bifold doors, bamboo is not simply displayed – it’s embedded in the very fabric of the building. Wherever possible, existing furniture and materials were repurposed, reinforcing our commitment to low-impact, high-performance design.

The result is a versatile, low-embodied-carbon space that now functions as a working showroom, office, and education hub.

This project was never just about building a space. It was about setting a benchmark, an environment designed to challenge outdated assumptions and demonstrate bamboo’s place in modern architecture. It invites professionals to see, touch, and reimagine what’s possible.

We invite you to visit, explore the space, and consider what can be achieved when sustainability, performance and design converge.
