We love a eco-friendly home - well done James Shaw & Ecotect-Architects

Built with a focus on natural materials including hempcrete, this small home near Margaret River will provide Perth couple, Andrea and Holger with a comfortable, healthy, low-bills retirement.

Featured in the latest Sanctuary Magazine, the house - designed by our very own James Shaw - captures the winter sun and keeps the residents comfortable at any time of the year with minimal energy use. Because of the thermal regulation of H**p, they won’t even require an air conditioner in summer!

Want to find out more? Check out the story in the new Sanctuary Magazine – Autumn Edition, or contact us!

Stay safe at home everyone!
