From Riq: ‘This is a small, 2-storey hemp masonry build. The lower walls have been stripped and the upper walls are being formed for the hemp pour. There are finished walls of hemp masonry completed ready for external render. The finish will be exposed internally. The process of forming some of the upper floor walls shows some of the detailing required for this construction method.

The detailing for this type of construction has been developed by the Australian Hemp Masonry Company. With interest in industrial hemp on the rise, this is an opportunity for architects to see a build in progress.
