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.
The finished product will likely inspire hemp houses well into the future.

A Newcomer’s Perspective on the Cape
