American actor Zac Efron is building an unusual home in Australia, with hemp playing a major role in the project. Called “FutureCave,” the home is being developed on a 128-hectare property in New South Wales that Efron bought in 2020. The site is about an hour from Byron Bay. The High School Musical star is working with Dutch-Australian designer Joost Bakker and architect Frank Burridge on the project.
Rather than a conventional house, FutureCave is planned around six bedroom pods connected by outdoor walkways. The project incorporates materials including hemp, recycled oyster shells, agricultural waste and sustainable particle boards.
