🏡 “Homes That Last a Century: Rebuilding the Future Through Eco-Construction”
What kind of home would you build — if it were for your own child to live in for the next 100 years?
This question fuels our mission to transform how we build, live, and connect with the Earth. Through our eco-construction workshops, we are planting seeds of change in the next generation — empowering young minds to create homes that are not just shelters, but sustainable legacies.
Nature Living Institute not only is a center for eco-construction, but also as a job training hub that supports sustainability, youth skill-building, and a circular economy. It includes a compelling title, storytelling structure, and instructor highlights:
🛠 Nature as Teacher, Craft as Career
We challenge the idea that homes must get out from gray boxes made of concrete — especially since concrete is responsible for 30% of the world’s construction waste.
🛠 What You’ll Learn
Our hands-on eco-construction workshops serve as a full job training center, where you’ll learn:
🔍 1. Designing for Nature
How to plan for temperature change, wind, water, and comfort
What makes a “good house”: health, durability, beauty, and low impact
🌿 2. Working with Natural Materials
How to select and treat bamboo, palm, clay, earth, and plant fibers
Techniques for strengthening, weatherproofing, and preparing each material
How to avoid over-reliance on cement and synthetic materials
🏗 3. Building Full Structures
Combining materials to form roofs, walls, floors, and frames
Learning from traditional Thai knowledge and modern green design
Building for longevity with circular economy principles
🌱 What Makes a Good Home?
A good home is not just four walls — it’s a space designed for comfort, climate, culture, and continuity.
In our program, participants explore:
What makes a home truly livable, breathable, and beautiful
How natural materials like bamboo, palm, hemp, and latex work together in floors, walls, roofs, and structure
How to treat, join, and shape these materials for long-lasting results
We don’t follow a blueprint — we follow the land, the wind, the light, and the wisdom passed through generations.
♻️ Learning Through the Circular Economy
Every element of our program is grounded in circular economy principles — where resources are never wasted, and every material has a next life.
Our students become stewards of the land, learning how to:
Use agricultural by-products like palm waste as construction materials
Build homes that return to the earth at the end of their lifecycle
Reimagine waste as opportunity
This is not just green building — this is circular living.
👷♂️ Meet Our Local Instructors
🎋 Bang Lee – Bamboo Master Craftsman
Bang Lee is a lifelong student and teacher of bamboo — a material he believes is Thailand’s gift to the future of construction. With years of experience in traditional joinery and modern adaptations, he shares the art of building with bamboo from the forest to the finished home.
🌴 Chaiyut – Palm Waste Pioneer
Chaiyut is turning Thailand’s palm waste problem into a design solution. He teaches how to repurpose agricultural byproducts into structural panels, roofs, and interior elements — demonstrating how waste can become wealth in the eco-construction cycle.
🧒🏽 A Home for the Next Generation
We ask every participant:
Would you give the house you build to your child to live in for 100 years?
If the answer is yes, then you’re ready to learn, lead, and build differently.
At Nature Living Institute, we are not just building homes — we are building people who care.
