From the archive and the now.

Shelter’s work in regenerative building continues to attract attention across Australia and internationally.

This page brings together a growing collection of media features, interviews, conference talks, and industry recognitions that highlight our commitment to low-carbon construction and material innovation.

Our projects and research have been covered by journalists, industry leaders, and sustainability specialists for almost a decade. You’ll also find video features, YouTube project walkthroughs, and recorded speaker sessions from events and conference. These appearances reflect the steady momentum behind bio-based construction and the growing interest in hempcrete, light earth, and other natural materials.

This archive is designed as both record and resource: a living snapshot of where the industry is heading and the role Shelter is playing in moving it forward.
