Homes which have a useful life in centuries, not decades.

We build houses, small to large.
HEXOHM is a new humble company based on Bainbridge Island, Washington.

We offer a different kind of dwelling via a new building system.

We will build better + faster, cleaner + greener.

We will help people + planet.

The time is now.

Mighty. Cool.

MADE OF

HEMP • LIME • WATER

Hempcrete is a remarkable building material.
Proven in Europe for decades, it is just now allowed in the US.

---

FREE OF

CHEMICALS • TOXINS • VOCS

Good for people + planet.
Our homes naturally regulate humidity, and have no noxious off-gassing from toxic materials.
The thick walls are enormous stores of carbon-dioxide.

---

RESISTS

FIRE • PESTS • MOLD • ROT

Shelters which are sturdy + safe, tough + resilient.
Hempcrete is non-combustible with low thermal conductivity, and lime's alkaline PH makes it inhospitable to pests + fungus.

---

BUILT IN

WASHINGTON STATE

Domestically designed, derived, and constructed domiciles.
We source our raw materials + building products as locally as possible.

The natural house of the future.

HEMPXAGON is our six-sided hempcrete housing concept.
Thanks to our system approach, essentially infinite sizes + layouts are possible.
Below are a couple possibilites.

When you walk into a lime-plaster room and experience it, it just feels different.

Your sustainable, sturdy, serene sanctuary.
HEXOHM home will feel like a carefully considered bio-castle.

Brawny Building

Outside, a HEXOHM looks stout yet elegant.
The structural concrete corner pillars suggest its formidable strength, and the hexagonal footprint makes it appear more stable than a rectilinear building.
Entering through the doorway, it’s impossible to not notice the 14” thick walls. The impressive exposed-beam ceiling pattern further emphasizes the substantial sturdiness of the structure.

Cozy Castle

Inside, one is immediately swaddled in becalming silence.
The solidity that only mass-buildings can provide is palpable. The abundance of real-wood elements, finished in natural oils, lend a honey-like warmth.
Satin, subtly variegated plaster finishes have a relaxing affect; they exude stone-like presence, far elevated beyond paint.

---

Bright
An abundance of warm, diffuse, dimmable, glowing light. You can live in a lantern :–)

---

Grounded
A feeling of connectedness to the Earth is thanks to the ‘earthen’ slab ground floor.

---

Cozy
With its high-thermal mass, the heated slab gently + evenly heats the entire dwelling. Romantic ;–)

---

Quiet
The absence of reverberation creates an acoustic intimacy; a sense of being held by the space. Outside noise fades away.

The thick walls give a 'sense of shelter'. There’s a real serenity in it that is powerful.

HEXOHM is a versatile, efficient building system.
With each 500 square foot hexagonal pad, increasing permutations are possible.

HEXAGONAL PERMUTATIONS

Build out. Build up.

Go big, go small, and go home :–)
Stack HexNugs up to three-storeys high, allowing interesting arrangements + useable roof decks.

Old-World meets High-Tech

HEMPXAGON is a fusion of timeless + pioneering materials + methods.
The result: a cozy, becalming space of pure form + honest structure, elevated with modern accuracy + efficiencies.

LIVING MACHINE

A house is an extension of our human life-support systems, a ‘machine for living’ according to the legendary Le Corbusier.
Inline with our ‘futu-rustic’ approach, we utilize modern technologies in the most cleverly simplistic ways possible.
The result: a low-tech, high-performance living-machine with minimal components and systems.

Heating + Cooling

Radiant Heat

• Efficient, stable, uniform heat
• Cozy underfoot

Cooling

• Cooling via stack effect (apex ventilation)
• Can operate in passive or force-air modes

Air Quality

• Heat-recovery ventilation (fresh-air, minimal energy-loss)
• Filtration options for the imminent fire season

---

PLUMBING

Hot Water

• Heat-pump hot water (300% efficient)
• Short water lines from tank, minimizing loss
• Point-of-use heating (if/where applicable)

Hybrid System

• The specialized storage tank does double-duty by providing radiant heat + domestic hot water
• Outside compressor unit, reducing noise

Copper/PEX Hybrid

• No PEX at fixtures for drinking
• PEX for installation efficiency

---

ELECTRICAL

Lighting

• Low-Voltage, dimmable DC light fixtures
• High Color-Rendering-Index (CRI) luminaries
• Warm-neutral white light (2700-4000K)
• Strategic task, accent, and path lighting
• Integrated soft ambient lighting
• Dimmable, always

Future-Proof

• Solar-Panel (photovoltaic) ready
• Electric-Vehicle charger hook-up ready

---

Serviceability

HEXOHM is designed with a home’s inevitable service and maintenance needs in mind.

Plumbing + Electrical

• Pipes + wires are accessible non-destructively
• The utility closet is compact and laid-out meticulously and logically

Finishes

• Plaster is easily spackled – a premixed tub will stay spreadable indefinitely
• Natural oils on exposed woods can easily be reapplied without stripping prior

A powerful shape, for both practical and profound reasons: the humble hexagon.

---

A Special Shape
The significance of a hexagon lies in its connection to two fundamental shapes: the circle, and the triangle, the latter of which is an incredibly strong shape, used extensively in bridges, cranes, skyscrapers etc.

---

The Great Tesselate
Thanks to its close relationship to the circle (google ‘circle packing’), hexagons are able to be ‘tiled’ indefinitely, just like the almost magical apian honeycomb.
This tidy clustering gives us sizing + layout options for structures + sites.

---

More With Less
Polygons have a greater area-to-perimeter ratio with increasing sides, up to infinity (circle).
The 3 shapes below have the same amount of exterior wall (the most expensive + complex part of a house), but the hexagon unlocks more than 15% extra floor area compared to a boring square.

---

Different, But Familiar
Don’t worry; it’s not too atypical a shape for a structure, unlike a yurt (2D circle) or dome (3D circle), which makes for challenging/awkward placement of furniture, shelving, and artwork.
Like boxy structures, our homes have straight, plumb, parallel walls… just an extra pair!

In Nature

Hexagons are a common shape found throughout nature due to their efficiency and structural stability. They are present in both living and non-living systems, from the microscopic structure of snowflakes to the macroscopic formations of basalt columns.
