We have been on site in Cape Cod as a guest and sub-contractor of our colleagues HempStone LLC for what is likely going to be the most impressive and breathtaking hempcrete build in the United States so far.

This is a 6,000 sq. ft. waterfront home designed by Adam and built by Zack and Jerry of C.H. Newton Builders to suit the vision of the homeowner, Michael. HempStone LLC was brought in to staff up and oversee the installation of hempcrete and exterior air-tight render. The machine used to install the hempcrete is the Valkyrie (a Norse God who decides who lives and dies in battle…) designed and operated by Laurent Goudet of AKTA.

We threw down and helped Laurent by staying ahead of him and tending to the Valkyrie! Beyond that, we quickly fell into a groove with each other, with each member of the crew working equally hard, keeping an eye out for opportunities to optimize and improve our process.
