Sustainable building on the rise in South Africa

South Africa's building industry has taken another step forward. High up on a hill overlooking the sea in Noordhoek, Western Cape, stands the House that Hemp Built.

The first of its kind in South Africa, the building was constructed almost entirely of materials that could be grown on a few hectares of land within months.

Silhouetted against the sky, the hemp
house slowly takes ahape.
