The world’s first luxury home built entirely with Zerocrete, where the waste of our past can build the most beautiful vision of our future.
A House With A Purpose
Nestled in the scenic landscape of Riebeek Kasteel, EcoSpace is a living testament to a revolutionary idea. Developed as a proof of concept, EcoSpace demonstrates that luxurious, modern living and profound environmental responsibility can coexist in perfect harmony.
Every wall, floor, and surface of this 305-square-metre home is crafted from Zerocrete, a visionary material born from reclaimed plastic, fabric, and glass waste that would otherwise have been destined for landfills. EcoSpace was designed to be a blueprint and a tangible example of how we can build stunning architectural spaces that actively contribute to healing our planet.
The Zerocrete Impact: From Waste to Wonder
The construction of this single home represents a monumental environmental achievement.
By choosing to build with Zerocrete, we transformed what was once destined for a landfill into the very fabric of this beautiful space.
97 Tons of Waste Diverted
In total, nearly one hundred tons of non-recyclable waste were reclaimed and given a new, permanent purpose.
55,636 kg of Plastic Reclaimed
The equivalent of nearly 4 million PET water bottles, now forming the resilient core of walls and furniture.
26,115 kg of Fabric & Textiles Upcycled
A mass of waste equivalent to over 186,000 T-shirts, transformed into a building material with excellent insulation properties.
15,281 kg of Glass Integrated
The equivalent of over 38,000 wine bottles, now adding unique character and strength to countertops and surfaces.
283,000 kg of CO2 Prevented
By replacing 50% of the required cement with a low-carbon alternative, we avoided massive carbon emissions.
36 New Jobs Created
This project empowered the local community, creating new jobs and upskilling local artisans in a new, sustainable trade.

A Tour of Conscious Living
Spanning 305 square metres, this double-story home is meticulously designed for modern life, with every detail showcasing the versatility of Zerocrete.
The expansive ground floor features a large, open-plan living area that seamlessly connects the lounge, dining space, entertainment and outside areas, all defined by polished Zerocrete surfaces. The home offers two serene en-suite bedrooms; the main suite includes a full bathroom with a luxurious bath and shower, while the guest suite features a modern shower room.
Upstairs, a versatile office or studio provides a quiet retreat, complete with its own en-suite bathroom. With a total of 3.5 bathrooms and a spacious garage, EcoSpace is a complete, functional home that compromises on nothing.
The Beauty in the Details
Look closer, and you’ll see the story of Zerocrete embedded in every surface. Flecks of coloured glass catch the light in the countertops. Subtle fibres add texture and warmth to the walls. Polished plastics create a terrazzo-like depth in the floors.
Zerocrete materials are strong, sustainable, and uniquely beautiful with a character that cannot be replicated. It is a constant, tangible reminder of its restorative origins.
Build Your Own Sustainable Legacy
The EcoSpace house is an invitation to a world of possibilities using Zerocrete materials.
An invitation to rethink construction, to challenge the conventional, and to build beautiful spaces that are restorative to our planet.
Whether your project is a new home, a commercial development, or a bespoke piece.
This is super awesome. Just what we were looking for.
We would like to build such a home in Gansbaai, western Cape.
We hve the approved building house plan, a very simple single storey home.
Isit expensive to build with this recycled material with counters cupboards and all?
Do you also do building construction?
We currently living in Kuilsriver and really would like to know more about Zero crete building materials and possibilities, thank you.
Good day Hendricks,
Thank you for your interrest in what we do. One of our team members will be in contact with you shortly to discuss a bit more details on how the proses works and to find out how we can work together.
