CAPE COD HEMP HOUSE

Spring of 2021 marked the beginning of hempcrete construction for the 2nd hempcrete home in the Massachusetts, this time on Cape Cod. This home utilizes a significant amount of carbon-storing hemp throughout the building - in walls, roof, and even below grade inside the masonry basement walls. HempStone was an integral in the installation of the hempcrete and lime plaster throughout the building.
