Nine pavilions, five Bamboo Pavilions and four Pool Pavilions, at Maringi Sumba on the campus of a hospitality vocational school in Sumba, Indonesia.
Nine pavilions, five Bamboo Pavilions and four Pool Pavilions, at Maringi Sumba on the campus of a hospitality vocational school in Sumba, Indonesia. The campus of more than 20 buildings was designed in bamboo by Ibuku, the studio led by Elora Hardy, and constructed by Bamboo Pure. Both pavilion types list a private terrace, an en suite open air bathroom, a fan and air conditioning. A third party collection describes rounded oval windows and doors.
The property publishes that the bamboo is locally harvested, ecologically treated and then lab tested for durability. Bamboo Pure, the builder, publishes on its general supply page that its bamboo is treated in a borax based solution and tested at a laboratory on a regular basis, naming no laboratory, standard or result. A single use plastic free purchasing policy binds all departments and suppliers, with papaya straws and bamboo toothbrushes as guest facing substitutions. No mattress, linen fibre, paint or cleaning chemistry is published.
All eight areas, for every record. Each row opens to what was published, where we read it and when.
Publishing something is not the same as it being good. Every line below was read and placed by a person, not scored by a machine. What each rung means
Named means the property published something you can look up: a brand, a product or a number. Stated means it says so with nothing behind it. Not published means we looked and found nothing, which is a gap in our reading and not an answer about the building.
The air in a closed room is what you breathe for eight hours. What decides it is the filter grade, the fresh air rate, and whether damp has ever been looked for.
The property's accommodation page lists an en suite open air bathroom in both pavilion types, alongside a fan and air conditioning. This is an amenity listing rather than a ventilation statement, and no filter grade, ventilation rate or air reading is published.

You drink it, cook with it and stand under it. What is in it depends on the source and on what, if anything, filters it, and both are things a property can name.
We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.
Light is what tells a body the time of day. The part a building controls is what its fittings emit and when, which a named product or a colour temperature makes checkable.

Wiring, routers and devices put electromagnetic fields in a room. What a building decides is where they sit relative to the bed, and whether anyone has measured it.

The things you sleep on and touch: the mattress, the sheets, the pillows, and the paints, glues and finishes around them. A named fabric, a fibre content or a certification can be looked up. A structural palette tells you about the building, not about the bed.

What a kitchen cooks with and where it buys are the parts of a stay you take inside you. A named oil, a named supplier or a published share is checkable; “healthy” is not.
The foundation's own 2023 impact report gives a monthly harvest figure of one tonne of fruit and vegetables from the on site permaculture garden. This is gross farm output rather than the share of guest food it covers, no denominator is published, and the report names no external auditor or method, so it is recorded as specified rather than measured.

Daylight, planting, outlook and the way a room meets the outside are what make a place feel the way it does. Named design decisions can be checked; atmosphere cannot.

What you can hear at three in the morning decides whether you slept. Insulation, plant and machinery, and what sits next door are what decide it.
