Join me, Jeremy from Environmentarian, as I explore a stunning hempcrete home in Malua Bay, built for resilience and sustainability after the devastating 2019 bushfires. Designed by Kirsty Wulf of Shelter Building Design and built by Jace from JV Building & Contractors, this home showcases innovative fireproofing, thermal efficiency, and sound insulation—all thanks to hempcrete.
Will Brain from Hempcrete Victoria joins us to discuss the cast-in-place and prefabricated hempcrete block methods used in this build. His company, Respirabuilt, provides affordable prefabricated hemp solutions for fire-prone areas.
Featuring snippets of interviews with Will Brain and Kirstie Wulf. Yoyu can find the full podcats versions here...
🌿 Key features of this home:
✅ Hempcrete walls – fireproof, breathable, and energy-efficient
✅ Smart design – positioned for natural light and thermal mass benefits
✅ Bushfire resilience – non-combustible materials and ember-proofing
✅ Sustainable living – carbon-sequestering materials and rainwater collection
