An Envirotecture community project in Lithgow features in this story about building with hemp from The Guardian
Beautiful, eco-friendly and fire resistant: why architects are choosing walls made of hemp
We’re thrilled to see hemp projects finally getting the recognition they deserve, and we couldn’t be more excited to share that our very own Lithgow Women’s Shed has been mentioned in The Guardian!
At the Lithgow Women’s Shed, we’ve been hands-on in exploring the possibilities of building with hemp, and we believe it has so much untapped potential. From creating more sustainable homes to reducing our environmental impact, hemp is an amazing material that can be used in so many ways.
If you’re curious about hemp-based construction or just want to learn more about how we’re incorporating it into our projects, check out some of the related blogs below. We love spreading knowledge and inspiring others to get involved in this exciting, eco-conscious movement!
