Zac Efron builds a super mansion in Australia.

Actor Zac Efron is quietly completing a unique eco-friendly estate in the Australian rainforest. This is an important step in his plan to leave the US and settle permanently in the country.

The house, named Futurecave, is a passion project by Dutch designer Joost Bakker. Located in a secluded 128-hectare rainforest in the Tweed Valley, about an hour's drive from Byron Bay, the property boasts pristine natural landscapes with ancient cedar trees estimated to be around 500 years old, waterfalls, and natural streams. The actor, born in 1987, acquired the property at a discounted price during the 2020 pandemic. Upon completion, the house is expected to have a floor area of ​​approximately 830 square meters with a total construction cost of up to $2.65 million.

The most distinctive feature of Futurecave lies in its zero-waste architectural philosophy and its ability to operate completely independently of the national power grid. The construction permit application, submitted by Joost Bakker, has been presented to the Tweed Shire local council. The houses are designed to be dispersed to maximize the preservation of the natural environment, minimize the impact of concrete construction, and optimize views of the surrounding forest and mountains. The project is expected to become a carbon sink, creating an ideal ecological environment to protect endangered insects and animals.

In terms of building materials, the project largely eliminated traditional concrete after more than a year of experimenting with alternatives. The majority of the two-story structure, comprising six separate bedrooms, is constructed using hemp bricks. This environmentally friendly raw material, harvested from a farm in southern New South Wales, possesses fire-resistant properties, effective insulation, and the ability to absorb significant carbon emissions. Not only the structural elements, but the entire interior, including curtains, mattresses, pillows, and wooden furniture, utilizes hemp as a source material. On Instagram, designer Joost Bakker also shared images of unique materials such as recycled oyster shells and plant-based materials to demonstrate the sustainability of the project.
