Description

This innovative house in The Highlands of The Ecovillage in Currumbin utilises the natural building product Hempcrete for the walls. This not only gives a beautiful earthy organic look, it provides excellent thermal insulation and acoustic properties whilst having a low impact on the environment.

Continuing the eco theme, the house also has recycled timber floors, hand made trusses, clay rendered walls and a stunning kitchen that utilises recycled elements. It also has passive solar design features, solar panels and water catchment.
