Various of houses in neighbourhood\u003cbr/\u003eIt seems a dopey idea but a house built from the cannabis plant could solve South Africa's housing shortage.\u003cbr/\u003eA small company in Cape Town is building a pioneering house made mostly from products based on hemp fibre.\u003cbr/\u003eThe result is an elegant building with promising green credentials.\u003cbr/\u003eHigh on a hill, this looks like many other examples of elegant modern architecture. But this house is built with a special ingredient.\u003cbr/\u003eCannabis plant fibres are used for everything from the insulation to much of the house's internal fittings.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is one of Africa's first modular hemp houses and is a pilot project that could take off.\u003cbr/\u003eHousing is one of South Africa's biggest problems, and building with hemp (Cannabis sativa) could make construction more affordable and sustainable.\u003cbr/\u003eThe house in the hilltop suburb of Noordhoek is the brainchild of local hemp shop owner Tony Budden.\u003cbr/\u003eIt is constructed almost entirely of materials made from cannabis fibres that could be grown on a few hectares of land in less than three months.\u003cbr/\u003eThe house was first conceived as a prototype to tackle South Africa's severe housing shortage, affecting millions of poor people.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is the first time a modular house using 'hempcrete' has been built here. Hempcrete is a mixture of lime, water and hemp stalks, a by-product from the textile industry.\u003cbr/\u003eEverything from hemp insulation, hemp particle boards, hemp floors, hemp carpets, hemp furnishings, hemp textiles and hemp oil were used in the construction of this house.\u003cbr/\u003eFar from hiding its hemp origins, Tony Budden says he wanted people to feel the hemp throughout the house.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We wanted to create an experience where you could walk into this house and really feel the experience. You know, you can walk on the hemp carpets, you can touch the hemp curtains, feel the hemp walls, can feel the insulation, that it's a nice and comfortable temperature inside and we've done this you know.

The press locally has really been supportive of us,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eArchitect Erwin van de Weerd, was given the challenge of not only building the first modular hemp house on the continent but making it blend in with the other smart mansions of the neighbourhood.\u003cbr/\u003eVan de Weerd explains the huge amount of hemp used in the construction of the house.\u003cbr/\u003e\"To give you an idea to what extent hemp is used in this house - the wall panels are made of hemp board, with a wood veneer on top.The insulation in the internal external wall, is made of hemp insulation.

In the roof is an hemp insulation, the curtains are made from hemp. So, the amount of hemp in this house is enormous.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe house has a carbon neutral footprint, making it completely environmentally-friendly and sustainable.\u003cbr/\u003eThe pilot house is a luxury development but if the hemp project proves successful and large-scale cultivation of the plant for construction goes ahead, it could change the lives of millions of South Africans.\u003cbr/\u003eThousands of jobs would be created in all sectors of the industry, and nutritious hemp seeds could provide people with a food supplement.\u003cbr/\u003eBudden says he hopes growing hemp in South Africa will take off.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Already South Africa is now growing, on a commercial trial level, hemp in the Eastern Cape, managed through House of Hemp, who is a partner company of ours in Johannesburg, where Tandeka Komeni is managing trials there.
