Rapid Build Showcases the Power of Hemp — Otetto’s Living Canvas Panels Installed in Just 4 Days

Northern Rivers, NSW — Innovative hemp construction company Otetto has successfully completed the installation of its Living Canvas prefabricated hempcrete panel system on a new home in the Northern Rivers region — with the entire structure assembled in just four days.

The project features Otetto’s house design, the Mulloway, currently the company’s most adaptable and flexible model, designed to suit a wide range of sites, climates, and lifestyles.

This milestone demonstrates how prefabricated hempcrete systems can dramatically accelerate build times while maintaining outstanding thermal, acoustic, and environmental performance. The Living Canvas panels were designed and manufactured off-site, then craned into place with precision — resulting in a clean, efficient, and low-impact construction process.

“This build really shows what’s possible when innovation, sustainability, and good design come together,” said Harrison Marsh from Otetto. “To see a full home structure completed within four days using Australian-grown hemp materials is a big step forward for the industry.”

The success of the project highlights the growing momentum behind industrial hemp as a practical, sustainable building material — one that supports regional industries, reduces carbon emissions, and promotes healthier living environments.
