About Hempitecture
Our Philosophy
The amount of time we spend indoors and our dependence on synthetic and toxic buildings materials have never been greater. We seek to create habitats that reflect and remind us of our natural world, not set us apart from it.
We believe that buildings made from the earth can increase our enjoyment of the world around us and will allow us to live with respect for nature while remaining conscious of the impact we have on it.
We have made this commitment from our company's foundation—our corporate charter declares Hempitecture a public benefit corporation with a purpose to create healthy, energy efficient habitats that positively impact inhabitants as well as environment through the sequestration of Carbon Dioxide.
Our Home
We work all across the United States but Hempitecture is headquartered in Sun Valley, Idaho. Sun Valley's natural setting allows us to enjoy the outdoors on a daily basis while remaining centrally located to the green building markets of the Rocky Mountain West & the Pacific Northwest.
If you are ever interested in visiting us or receiving a tour of one of our nearby building projects, please let us know.
