Nauhaus Prototype Project
A CRAFTSMAN HEMPSTEAD BUNGALOW
This very unique home was originally conceived as a design exercise: what would it look like if we designed a home that was net-zero, used all locally produced materials, and would meet the very stringent (German) Passive House energy standards?
In the course of the development of this design, we discovered hempcrete, and while initially skeptical, research supported its viability, and it ultimately became integral to the project. The rest is history.
Designers: Tim Callahan, Jennifer Bennett, Luly Gonzalez, Clarke Snell, Jeff Buscher, Lisa Mandle.
General Contractors: Red Shed Woodworks, all of the designers and a host of volunteers
Engineering: Medlock and Assoc.
