BoKaap

Set within the culturally and historically sensitive Bo-kaap, this project explores the use of timber, clay and lime plasters with a focus on energy efficiency and the reduction of the carbon footprint of the building. The design succeeds in addressing the street in a historicaly appropriate way while offering a contemporary interior space. This work forms an important landmark on our journey towards refining the combined use of timber and industrial hemp. The home has built-in water catchment, a bio-digester in the basement and a green house on the roof with the potential for an aquaponic system.
