Bambahús
All-season greenhouses.
Modular building units made from recycled IBC tanks.
A sustainable solution for cultivation, creativity, and community.
Versatile Icelandic greenhouses that adapt to your ideas
Bambahús greenhouses are designed with soil-based cultivation in mind.
The weight of the soil often makes ground anchoring unnecessary — a flat surface is usually sufficient.
The units are equally well suited for other cultivation methods, and the interior layout can be adapted to a wide range of uses.
Each unit measures 6.6 square metres, providing up to 9.3 m² of growing space.
Units can be combined into double, triple, or larger configurations, depending on available space and needs.
The planting beds can be removed if an open workspace or a more specialised interior layout is required.
Simple installation, robust construction, and flexible design make Bambahús greenhouses suitable for a wide variety of projects — whether for cultivation, education, design, workspaces, or cosy shared spaces.
Bambahús greenhouses are stronger and more versatile than conventional greenhouses.They combine load-bearing strength, insulation, and adaptable interior space in a solution that can support a wide range of projects and ideas.With efficient use of square metres, robust building materials, increased stability in changing weather conditions, and flexibility for future needs, Bambahús offers a resilient and long-lasting growing solution.

Benefits for Schools
Today, Bambahús greenhouses are used in approximately 12% of all preschools in Iceland, in a wide range of sizes.
Primary schools across the country also use Bambahús for cultivation and educational purposes — and the number continues to grow rapidly.
