Are you building, renovating, or dreaming of a more sustainable home on the Sunshine Coast?
Join local expert Brett Grimley, Founder and Principal Building Designer of Ecolibrium, for the next instalment of Ecolibrium's community talk series:
Foundations for the Future: Designing Sustainable Homes
Topic: Sustainable Building Materials
What are the building materials that make a home truly sustainable?
This session will delve deeper into the heart of Sustainable Building Materials, uncovering how thoughtful material choices can reduce environmental impact, enhance indoor health, and create more resilient, regenerative spaces. From locally sourced timbers and natural finishes to innovative recycled and low-impact products, we’ll look at the materials shaping the future of sustainable living.
The discussion will explore a range of approaches and examples — including hemp and hempcrete, straw bale, rammed earth, mud brick, recycled and upcycled materials, and non-toxic, healthy alternatives for interiors. Whether you’re building, renovating, or simply curious about what’s possible, you’ll gain practical insights and inspiration for making better material decisions in your projects.
Come connect with local design experts and community members passionate about creating homes that not only tread lightly but actively contribute to the health and vitality of our environment.
This is a must-attend event for anyone curious about building better—from the ground up.
