A 260-square-metre hempcrete beach house that runs on rainwater, solar and a palette of salvaged materials.

This installation fills a Perth CBD office floor with a soundscape and Wheatbelt-inspired landscape under fluorescent light.

Lime plaster works by letting moisture move through it. A wall finished in lime breathes – water vapour passes in and out, meaning damp doesn’t get stuck causing mould. The paint that goes on top has to do the same job, or it will undo the benefits of breathable wall finishes.
