Building with natural materials (such as hemp. clay, earth) has a low carbon footprint, helps create communities and increases personal and planetary wellbeing. Except it can be difficult to achieve compliance, and slow to build with these materials. To make natural building easier and more accessible we introduce the FAST SLOW house.
The FAST SLOW house is a high performance FAST prefabricated DIY kit home, which home builders can quickly assemble, enabling them time to slowly infill the system and fit out the interior.
The innovative, cutting-edge FAST SLOW house is being developed with a team of researchers, with vast architecture and building experience from the University of Newcastle and MudTec, who are driven to make more sustainable and affordable housing.
The FAST SLOW House 1 at Narara Ecovillage is the first FAST SLOW house prototype from this research.
