Hey Derek, Thought you might enjoy these photos of my hemp home! I still have some binder left and plan to build a sauna with it. I’ll send ya photos of that when I do. Thanks so much for all your help in making my hemp home become a reality. We’ve had some cold days already and the house stays so nice and comfortable without any added heat. Ethan
Just wanted to let you know the house won an award of Merit in the DIY section for the first Green Home + Design Awards in Maine. I’ll attach a photo of the poster that was displayed. You are included in the project team. They got architects and designers familiar with natural building from all over the country to do the judging. This is what they had to say about this project:
“It’s exciting to see this one push towards the cutting edges of carbon-storing insulation alongside low-carbon foundation approaches, and non-toxic finishes like lime plaster and local wood boards, avoiding drywall and sheathing. They also did well to use a high-quality ERV/HRV balanced, active ventilation system and excellent tripane windows and doors. A great example of what’s possible for creating comfortable, durable, exceptional green homes for the next century.”
“The focus on embodied carbon and materials cradle to grave considerations are outstanding on this one. Really great products and an ability to try new things that are outside of ‘legacy’ construction methods is admirable. This should be a very durable home for a long time to come.”

This incredible hempcrete project in Colorado features a combination of: on-site hempcrete panel construction for tip-up walls, hand cast techniques, pre-cast hemp blocks for helping to complete the wall detail, and traditional lime plaster/rendering for finishing the walls. It has hosted several natural building workshops already, driving education and training on how & why to be using these high-performance materials.
