Zac Efron Builds Eco-Home from Hemp and Oysters
2 Dec
Summary
- Zac Efron is constructing a home primarily from hemp and oyster shells.
- The sustainable house is being built near Byron Bay, Australia.
- Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2026 and finish September 2027.
Zac Efron is embarking on a significant eco-friendly construction project, building a new home near Byron Bay, Australia. Collaborating with environmental architect Joost Bakker, the home will utilize industrial hemp and oyster shells as primary building materials, aiming to create the "most healthy home on the planet." This innovative approach replaces traditional materials with sustainable alternatives, including hemp for walls, insulation, and even mattresses.
The use of industrial hemp is facilitated by a change in Australian law in 2017. Bakker, an expert in building with cannabis plants, previously featured his own sustainable home in Efron's docuseries "Down To Earth." This experience likely inspired Efron's desire for a similarly eco-conscious residence.
Efron purchased the property in 2020, and after a period of nomadic living, is now ready to establish roots. The construction is anticipated to commence in February 2026, with completion expected around September 2027, marking a significant investment in sustainable living for the actor.
