KuNa

With over 1 billion people in the housing crisis and 40% of emissions coming from real estate, the world desperately needs a sustainable building revolution. KuNa is a bamboo social housing solution that is durable, cost effective, sustainable and simple to procure in any part of the world where bamboo grows. Thanks to our prefabricated panel and connection system, KuNa homes can be installed in 48 hours and can expand over time to meet the needs of families. KuNa has 3 deployment models: - Turnkey: we design, supply and install the home - Self Build: we design the home and supply the panels. The family installs the home with supervision of our experts. - Franchise: we license our technology, co-invest in infrastructure, provide advisory and community development services to help build bamboo supply chains KuNa won the Architecture in Development 2022 Challenge, made the semi-finals of the MIT 2023 Solve Challenge and won the Built by Nature 2024 Prize. Our team is currently focused on scaling up the model in Mexico to make home ownership affordable and sustainable for an underserved market of over 1 million people / year.
