This choice reflects a "Low-tech" approach focused on simplicity and efficiency, aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of the site while ensuring high thermal and acoustic performance. The bio-sourced, 100% natural hemp blocks contribute to creating a durable and comfortable work environment for future users and simplify installation due to their light weight.
As Gregory Webber from Igretec notes: "The choice of hempcrete is based primarily on the need to offer a simple and efficient construction system (Low-tech approach) while aiming to limit the environmental impact of the site and guarantee maximum comfort for future users." This project demonstrates how natural and sustainable solutions can be integrated into modern and demanding constructions.
