One of a Kind: Bidayuh Bridge, Design and Build Course, Borneo 2025
Ngapuh Homestead is home to a working farmhouse and a welcoming community lodge, which is a nonprofit initiative, a grassroots effort to enrich life in Kampung Nyegol through thoughtful ecotourism and workshops that honour local crafts and skills.
Jerome (Lelem), a Bidayuh permaculturist, and Charlotte (Lottie), a British trained architect, live and work year round on site at their self built Red River Farmhouse. Together they grow food, raise animals and lead design and build projects that celebrate natural building.
Life here is grounded in care for the land and a commitment to supporting the local Bidayuh community. Visitors are invited not simply as guests but as active participants in a shared experience that supports and uplifts the community.
Join us. Stay. Learn. Create.

Find out about our Red River Farmhouse design and built story here:
The Red River Farmhouse design and build was inspired by the Bidayuh kampung vernacular. Developed and refined using the latest BIM technology, it became the foundation for an innovative and efficient modular house system, easy to build, with an open plan layout rooted in both tradition and forward thinking design.
This home stands as a quiet testament to resourcefulness and the beauty of simple, sustainable living. It offers an adaptable blueprint for kit homes, with layout plans available online for those interested in designing and building their own.
