This mock wall section was built along with the client, David Manidis, as a live demonstration of the technique and materials proposed to complete his hempcrete home to be built in 2021. Complete with a sample foundation section and radiant heat flooring section via Warmboard, this mockup stands over 9’ tall and was cast in-situ at a thickness of 12”.

We are hoping to use this model to aid in the process of getting permitting and code enforcement approval to use hempcrete to build David’s home in Wyomissing, PA. Code enforcement officials will have the opportunity to see how the material interacts with other materials in the wall system and, most importantly, they will also be able to feel the sturdiness of the material for themselves.
