A Home Building Revolution - The Harmless Home 

Thank you for being the 1st and for setting a standard

This is a new way for rich people to show off their wealth.

Now rich people can live in eco homes, while the rest of us, scrape by.

Arno - Thanks for sharing this wonderful video and for pioneering the way to brighter future in our built environment!

All houses should be made in this.

Haha! Happy 1 year anniversary of this video! Now I'm so excited! I'm applying for a grant I found and I want to plant hemp and build a house like this one! I loved this video! I'm absorbing EVERYTHING I CAN about this wonderful crop and the possibilities are endless and alllll so beautiful & Aaaaaamazing! We hold the key to improving every aspect of our lives from big pharma to homes, to politics and even cleaning up alllll the pollution on our beautiful rock we live on! Cheers! To the future!!!

Wow, what a great idea, but omg what a huge house for two wee bodies!! A commune could live there... !

I am so impressed by the innovation and level of commitment to sustainability they have shown. You have spurred me to consider a carbon neutral home for my first home.

WoW. What an amazing video, vision, achievement. I am moved to tears this is wonderful and i hope to use this material in the future and I aspire to create a home that is this eco conscious! Well done to the entire, design and build team!

The two of you looking at each other at the beginning is worth the vid...

Awesome job on this video Frances. So exciting to see this new building product and all the benefits of using it.

So nice to see really smart people addressing the world we live in without the hate. We can change the world from greed to help, it just takes the really smart solutions. Great video

Honestly the most beautiful home Ive ever seen. So obsessed. Love you guys good job!!!! 💖🤘

That is so amazing and inspiring. Thank you also Arno for keeping up with the comments and giving your responses. Am I to understand from some of these comments that you have a group of company that helps others to build something similar? Hope to meet you soon.

Brilliant! Just plain brilliant!

Absolutely astonishing! Thank you for sharing this amazing video ❤

This should be the Canadian standard for new home construction including the solar and Tesla powerwalls should be minimum code under NBC. I love the water reclamation too.

Great video, inspiring . Thanks for posting.

Brilliant idea!! Wow

Great job Frances! It's exciting to learn about new eco-home building techniques. I think the just biofiber blocks would be ideal for a self-build project.

Peace Power & Blessings. You are contributing directly to reducing Ecoside. Much respect , 3rdStoneVisionary.

Fantastic. Thank you for the upload. And the work you're all doing. ✌

This is awesome - I want to build another home now!

where can we info on this and is available in the united state love this video

When I was in college I read a study on how there is actually a lot of CO2 in people's homes because of exhausts, off gassing, and other indoor air pollutants. Studies have shown that CO2 is linked to lethargy, winter depression due to low air circulation, and low productivity. So I interpreted that as our farts are making us sad and bad at our jobs. When I learned about hempcrete and how it cures by absorbing CO2 from the air, my first thought was part of that strength comes from our farts.

Amazing what can be done when there are few if any budgetary constraints.

Brilliant application! Questions + answers = solutions. What method is used to tie the blocks to your foundation, and the roof frame to the walls(wind - lateral & uplift forces)? How is electrical wiring run? Can most wiring be low-voltage DC to eliminate the need for appliance 'wall-warts'? Does wi-fi signal pass thru these walls? How are plumbing lines run? What energy do you use for cooking, hot water? Nice to see powerwalls implemented with solar PVs. Has the solar/storage capacity met your electrical demand? I'd love to see the plans & specs documents. Thank you for doing your part!

I'm so excited by these concepts!

1000 likes and no dislikes! Never seen that before.

Love this concept. So many benefits.. the only potential issue I can see is down the road when you need to rewire the house or add wires.. how would you do that?

Im jealous no joke

Awesome innovations!

Love a back to back dual Tennis court sized factory using passive heating/cooling like Earthships use, we need more sporting venues with solar on the roof area and great insulation.

Wow, this is truly remarkable ❤️🌱❤️!!!

Fabulous thank you all

Hi, amazing work. What i didn't understand was the part with the pressure applied to the blocks. What gets infused there and why? Thanks

Based

lovely! still such a large house, a bit house obesity but love the concept and dream of these two.

This is wonderful... are there any negatives? Are you limited in hanging wall art? Is it truly ‘permanent’? If you want to knock down a wall to make the greenhouse bigger, is that possible with the Jbf blocks being so strong? Can you change the wiring at a later date if you want to add additional lighting somewhere? If you have a leak, you won’t have mold but would you be able to get to the source of the leak for a repair? Absolutely love this concept!! Thank you for sharing your story... 👍🏾

Fascinating. Would be cool to see an update video and hear about how is it going for the building material product in addition to this project.

Really glad to see such a well-done video on this construction material. Given its weight, I'd bet you could build a second story on an existing home without significantly increasing the first story bracing. The fire rating of this material would surely drop your insurance rate also I'd bet.

fabulous

PURPLE DOORS GREEN HOUSE 💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜🤟

I would love to know how the house is doing and where to find equipment to build something like this

Nice Build! I don't think many people understand the amount of research and planning that goes into a project like this. It may be fair to inform viewers the foundation and some above grade walls are made of concrete enclosed in insulated concrete forms (ICFs).

Hi everyone Can we get jbf or it's equivalent in Australia?

Does your team work on US projects? Would love to start a project like this in Michigan

They made giant Leggos! Sign me up!

Yes, costs will come down as the process becomes more widespread, but please add the price of the home. It's a gorgeous home in a stunning location, sso the price will be high no matter what method you use. You can't generate real interest in this method without coming clean on the costs.

This is my dream too, to build and live in a hemp house.

Any updates, positive or negative, garnered from the performance monitoring? Recently started the research process on designing and building a new home and found this interesting...

Are they ever going to produce any more blocks? I've been waiting for years...

awesome!

Wow mad props to those who put forth this video. Im wanting to work more with self sustained housing and not only does this hempcrete house highlight the industrial benefits of cannabis, but it also seems to be a goal of being self sustained. I was just gonna work more with forming but the blocks (if the idea can be freelanced) could help serve as an educational method of building more safely? or would a structure based stamped hempcrete house be better? :) Interesting video none the less as an american advocate, will be inclined to share this with others. Thanks for not trying to tell anyone there is a difference in hemp and cannabis too. Cant stand misinformation like that at a time when were looking at legalizing this vegetable.

If there are any government members who are in housing and development, here's some simple advice to rebuilding towns like Lyton and other towns in forested areas. USE HEMPCRETE TO QUICKLY BUILD TOWNS AND FIREPROOF TOWNS AGAINST FUTURE CLIMATE DISASTER. ITS WAY MORE INEXPENSIVE THEN CURRENT BUILDING SYSTEMS. Think about it😊

HURRT UP AND MAKE THIS AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSABLE!!!!!!!!!!

Such an amazing project they managed to get Paulie Malinaggi to come and help out 3:07

rich folks sho live good.

Beautiful home but if you want to shrink your carbon footprint maybe you have chosen a smaller design. That is a lot of home for 2 people.

Please could you comment on price. Thanks

🙏

I want to meet you guys, I want to make this, I am totally in love with this product!

Are there any other homes like this that are more recent? Great technical info!

Price?

Why do two people need such a huge house? It would be even more "harmless" if it was small. Need more trees and less roof area on that property.

How do I learn this trade in the United States

If you ever make a home with the rounded edges ...please notify me . In Love with Eartshships and Hemp -crete ! Just need land and a million bucks or 10 ounces of silver.

...and they sprinkeled some pixie dust, and POOF, this 10K sq ft home magically appeared out of the thin air. Tinker Bell lives in the turit, i;m sure. None of the tons of materials took any energy to mine, transport, smelt, form, package, transport, and install. When they are dead, it will make a nice musium or maybe a mosoleum for the poor folks on whose backs it was made.

Where can be buy the blocks ?

This is truly fantastic. Anxious to learn more about this material for home building. Any idea on where R value will land?

big question,is how much did it cost to build?they never mention that.

How much did it cost to make? Just curious. Building with those hempcrete blocks are a great idea!

Does this company have anyone to build in Arizona?

Thats interesting that they have the water filter right next to the breaker box electronics realm. Might as well shield the water filter if youre optimizing everything.

It's just hempcrete, it's been used to make houses before... not the first in the world. Amazing construction material

whats a budget on this structure... is this available to regular people or big budget

How would this material work in SK with the cold winters we have?

Too lazy to read all the comments, so at the risk asking this question twice, how much cheaper/expensive is this to a standard brick/block construction?

#hempcrete

I love to have a home in Canada?

How can I get one built for me?

real cool id add a rabbit along top and bottom so when stacked it provides a channel for coax

Lovely house, but quite big. Side question: In the "control room' it looks like the one wall is all plywood, I thought is was plywood free?

I'm very curious to know how this house performed during the awful heat dome this past summer in B.C.

Someone made a shit-load of cash pulling oil out of the ground.

Great use of structural hemp! We need to get away from oversized consumption in general. This house is massive and that itself is unsustainable.

There's your REAL baby boomers folks!! GO boomers! :)

Its a shame that in our society , when you are young, building a family etc, you are struggling to live in a proper home, and you are only able to do that once you are 80 years old only having a few years left to enjoy it. Our society is trash

To keep with green, how did you create the walls inside this house on the 2x4's?

Please send me the link where I can find these plastic reinforced hemp blocks

... apart from that before they moved into this HUGE footprint home there was Nature there. It is a good build, but to call it harmless it should have gone on a different spot

OK it is a cool well built home but to me a little excessive for two people. I've been building green passive solar homes with attached green houses since 1981. Building one right now and it's absolutely the smartest way to build a home. Love this houses building method, just too big for me

What about flooding?

Well, the issue of "climate change" is a political bungle and we all know that, the world itself has cycles of heat and cold that last approximately a century and that has been highly documented for the last 500 years, everyone knows the terrible heat that occurred throughout the world about 300 years ago that even vines grew in Bergen in Norway above the Arctic Circle and in Spain and Italy people and animals died from the heat in the streets and fields, and birds fell from the sky. sky killed by the hot air, all over the world tragedies were reported among people due to that terrible period of heat, MUCH HOTTER THAN WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH NOW, and it is also well known how cold there was between the 18th and 19th centuries. which were so terrible that the River Thames in London froze to such an extent that houses and buildings were built on the frozen water of the river believing that the cold would never go away, and that the sea on the Isle of Man froze miles out to sea. that the docks were of no use, it was so cold that the Nile delta in Egypt was all frozen and the Nile could not be navigated, and there were so many ice floes in the Mediterranean Sea that many ships sank after colliding with those floes, All over the world there were records of the tragedies that the cold caused for a long time and that is very documented SO DON'T INSIST WITH THAT SHIT THAT "CLIMATE CHANGE" IS SOMETHING MADE BY MAN BECAUSE IT IS NOT, but all of that It is a political move that seeks MONEY DERIVED FROM TAXES, and the more politicians refer to it, the more FALSE IT IS so don't be too quick to insist on something we all know is FALSE. Another thing is the wonderful house that they built with those innovative methods and that seem very good, I really liked the possibility of using materials that seem very very durable (they said 500 years, that is excellent) and with ease of construction of the building and of how easy it would be to maintain the house, amazing method, dudes, really great I would like to know the cost of building a large house like that, surely there is a cost estimate per square meter because from what I see it would cost cheaper than a traditional wood or concrete building and would have a much longer life expectancy compared to those others old building materials I congratulate you for sharing your experiences and this new way of building, greetings

I'm just across the Strait from Victoria. Do you do projects in the US?

Where can I buy hemp bricks in Western Canada? can't seem to find anything. We are in the south Okanagan BC

what would be the cost comparison to a masonry built home in Toronto at 1000 square feet per floor W/O the basement.

talks about 'eco friendly' house; builds a house for 2 that 5 families could live in, in a remote place where even building an access road will cost as much as a new house; cost has a carbon footprint also and a huge one!

It is far too big to be harmless. Why do two people need such a large house?!
