Various close shots of lounge show roomLEADIN:Hemp homes, dome domains and smart sheds are just some of the latest designs that eco-architects hope average home owners will choose in the futureAt UK design event 'Grand Designs Live' in London, experts are sharing their vision of a greener future.STORYLINE:It's the house that hemp built.At London's 'Grand Designs Live' event, a host of natural building buffs are putting together a home-shaped structure using only low carbon techniques.One that's certainly catching the eye is 'hemp crete', a natural insulation material made by combining wet-mixing hemp shiv and a lime binder.While hemp is perhaps best-known because of its relation to cannabis plants, 'hemp crete' can be used to build walls, ceilings, roof insulation and floor slabs.Creating a so-called 'thermal envelope' in the process, according to Hemp-LimeConstruct director, Alex Sparrow.\"The combination of the insulation and the thermal mass means that 'hemp crete' buildings are very efficient and that because the wall is storing heat as well as insulating it leads to a very constant internal temperature, which reduces load on the heating and cooling systems within the house,\" he says.As hemp plants transform CO2 into oxygen while they grow, carbon is actually locked away in a building by using the material in construction.\"Even accounting for the production of the lime and for the transport and the energy used onsite, there's 160 kilograms net of atmospheric CO2 locked away in every cubic-metre of 'hemp crete' wall,\" says Sparrow.\"So as a country we're looking for ways to build zero carbon homes, this is better than zero carbon.\"Sparrow claims because it's mixed in a lime binder, 'hemp crete' generally boasts a 90-minute fire rating.His company - Hemp-Lime Construct - began in 2008, slowly but surely educating people about the benefits of 'hemp crete'.\"What we're finding is that really in the last two to three years, we've gone from people not knowing what 'hemp crete' was to suddenly everybody you meet has heard of it at least and is very interested in it,\" he says.If hemp homes don't take your fancy, how about dome-shaped domains?At 'Grand Designs Live', Faroe Islands-based company Easy Domes Ltd. are showing off their ready-to-build dome-shaped abodes.The wooden dome constructions are manufactured in factories as key-ready products, meaning they can be quickly assembled on site.It's claimed it could take around two hours for three or four men to build the dome - aluminium is used in some places to prevent rain entering the structure.\"As you see, the geometry is quite special, it's the truncated icosahedron and all the edges are equal length and with pre-drilled holes for mounting on the building site, so in that manner it's very quick to mount the dome,\" says Kari Thomsen from Easy Domes Ltd.It's claimed the domes - which are solely built from sustainable and natural materials - can benefit areas of the world facing a housing crisis.Their design and exterior climate membrane is thought to be resistant to high winds and earthquakes, according to the manufacturer. The rounded shape is intended to allow heat to flow more efficiently through the structure, therefore cutting emissions.\"The big advantage with this construction is that it's very easy to mount and with mass production, for example in China, in a big factory in China,\" says Thomsen.\"The production price can be very, very low, which means this house can solve a lot of problems for housing solutions, hurricane disasters, earthquakes and so on, it can also withstand.\"They may not be strangely-shaped, but smart sheds are also catching the eye at 'Grand Designs Live'.Amazing Sheds are launching their new smart outhouses at the event, they've been specially-designed to be configured into a variety of styles.Each is pre-fabricated, then flat pack delivered and erected in a few days' time.\"We've designed this in a way that it's a flat-pack kit, we can get this through your front door if necessary and then erect it in your back garden, so it's kind of like that pop-up boat in a bottle type scenario,\" says Hamish Boden, a director of 'Amazing Sheds'.\"But the main selling point, the main feature behind this is the modular furniture panels. So what we've got is a system that you can't design a building that works for everybody, so we've designed something that you can pick and choose.\"Each interior panel is the same width, meaning owners can incorporate a fold down table or desk within less than 2 centimetres of plywood wall space.Built to be adapted into areas such as an office, games room, play room, studio and reading room, Boden claims 'Amazing Sheds' are aiming to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living.\"Yes you have your garden shed, but this is a garden studio or just another space, another part of the house,\" he says.\"We're just taking the way you live indoors out into the garden and just making that blur between indoor and outdoor living, that's what we're trying to attempt to do.\"Grand Designs Live 2015 ran 2-10 May.====Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com.
