This month we're spotlighting Envirotecture, who show hempcrete's range at both ends of the build spectrum. Articles and videos on their new Ultimo studio proves a commercial fitout can be low-waste and beautiful, while "Permi Palace" a Sydney heritage renovation passive home shows hemp in a normal urban setting.
Excited to share that HBD has been named a finalist for Hemp Product of the Year at the Cannabiz Awards 2026, nice recognition for the work we do to support this industry. We've also just migrated the site to a faster, local, more ethical host. Good for people, planet and productivity.
There are heaps of events on this month, so check out our new events page for the full lineup.
We continue to support hemp building through the newsletter, the directory, and 1 on 1 chats. If you need specific info for your project go ahead and Book a Chat!

I do a helluva lotta of unpaid mission driven work for the hemp building industry because I believe in it so much. But belief doesn't pay the bills. If just a few people reading now could contribute it would mean a lot to me. Contribute here. Thanks to Jeanne-Marie, Rom and and Toni who recently contributed.

HBD is a social enterprise, one of our primary goals is to champion hemp as a tool in managing carbon footprints and to sequester carbon. We've put in a lot of work and migrated the website from a slow, offshore, ethically questionable data centre to Serversaurus.
