The Great Bure is a large, communal structure on Vorovoro island.

Background

The consensus was that after water, the tribe’s first goal should be to build a community structure that would be the centre-piece of island living. We decided to build a large bure (18 yards by 9 yards) on the flat open space near the beach to the West of the Chief’s houses.

The great tribal bure would be somewhere to sleep, eat, shelter and meet. It is made out of completely natural materials: Mangrove wood, stones (for foundation), sand, bamboo, reeds, rope and straw which are all sourced locally.
