Bamboo is building material that is well known in Southeast Asia, which is renewable, environment-friendly, widely available and fast-growing, as other materials resource such as timber is diminishing and restricted due to deforestation. While timber demand is rapidly increasing, unfortunately, the supply is depleting. Therefore, bamboo can be suitably replacing timber and other materials in construction and other works—moreover, bamboo grown abundantly in Indonesia and easily found in each district as local material. Using local materials is essential in this fast-growing world. Local materials can reduce carbon footprint and support sustainable development efforts. Also, bamboo construction also technically eco-friendly and cost-effective with durable and have high sustainability impact. Besides, the land available for residential housing is currently running low. This problem requires innovation in terms of space effectiveness in design. As a two- or three-story compact bamboo house concerning sustainable local material. This research analyses the user configuration to proceed bamboo as local material to construct a compact house model that is green and durable. These works initiate nature sustainability buildings to fit into natural surroundings.
