Pilot Project · Living Lab · Hands-on Learning Space
Rumah Maiasaura is the pilot project and living laboratory of Kompos Kultur. It is a space where compost systems, regenerative landscapes, and community learning are practiced as part of everyday life.
Rather than a showcase, Rumah Maiasaura functions as a place to test, observe, adapt, and learn — allowing systems to evolve through real use before being shared or scaled elsewhere.

Living Lab in Practise
At Rumah Maiasaura, composting is not treated as a separate activity, but as an integrated part of living, gardening, learning, and gathering.
Systems are continuously observed and adjusted based on material flow, user behavior, climate, and ecological response. This practice-driven approach allows lessons to emerge naturally — from successes, challenges, and daily routines.

Zonation System
The space is organized into functional zones that support learning, accessibility, and practical use. The zonation design based on the permaculture principle and we applied plant companion method to maintenance ecosystem balance.
01
Library
A quiet space for reading, discussion, documentation, and reflection. This zone supports learning through observation, dialogue, and shared knowledge.
02
Multipurpose Space
A flexible area used for workshops, gatherings, meetings, and community activities. Designed to adapt to different group sizes and purposes.
03
Composting House
The heart of the living lab. This zone hosts various compost systems, including microbial composting, anaerobic processes, and system experiments supported by Probio.
04
Herbs & Flower Garden
In these zone, we focus on planting flower and herbs. The main purpose is to increase more natural polinator like butterfly and bees, as well as control the pest through planting herbs in the garden
05
Regenerative Farming
A regenerative garden and small farming area where compost outputs return to the soil, supporting food production, biodiversity, and land regeneration. This integrated farming system is fully organic.

Programs & Activities
Activities at Rumah Maiasaura are built around participation and practice rather than demonstration alone. We offer range variety of activities that support sustainable living system and education.
Workshops & Learning Sessions
Hands-on learning sessions designed to reconnect people with ecological knowledge and traditional practices. Participants engage directly with topics such as composting, seed saving, natural building, herbal processing, and regenerative gardening—learning by doing in a real living system.

Seeds Saving for the Future
The seed saving and seed swap movements are vital for strengthening ecological resilience, cultural continuity, and community independence. By preserving and exchanging local seeds, this initiative protects biodiversity that is increasingly threatened by uniform commercial agriculture, while ensuring crops remain adaptable to changing climates and local conditions.
Seed Bank
Seed banks act as living libraries that safeguard local and traditional plant varieties for future generations. By carefully collecting and storing seeds, they protect biodiversity that is increasingly at risk from industrial agriculture and environmental change, ensuring that valuable genetic resources remain available for communities to grow, adapt, and thrive.
Seed Preservation
Seed preservation is the practice of selecting, processing, and storing seeds to maintain their quality and viability over time. This careful stewardship ensures that each planting season begins with strong, healthy seeds while also carrying forward the knowledge, characteristics, and resilience of locally adapted crops.
Seed Swap
Seed swapping creates a space for communities to exchange seeds, knowledge, and stories. By keeping seeds in active circulation rather than static storage, this practice strengthens local food systems, fosters collaboration, and nurtures a shared sense of responsibility for preserving biodiversity and cultural heritage.

Why Its Matter
01.
Practise Before Scalling
Rumah Maiasaura is our pilot ground—a small, living laboratory where ideas are tested, refined, and proven. What works here can then be replicated and adapted into larger systems with integrity and confidence.
02.
Learning by Doing
We believe knowledge grows through practice. By engaging directly with composting—touching, observing, and experimenting—we build real understanding rooted in experience, not theory.
03.
Join our Movement
This is more than a place—it’s a growing movement. By joining, you become part of a collective effort to transform waste, restore soil, and reshape our relationship with nature.
Join and Support Our Program
After our Waste Bank team visited Rumah Maiasaura, we were deeply inspired to create something similar—and now we have brought it to life. Thank you for the knowledge you shared; we still need your guidance moving forward.
