Pioneers of natural
prestige architecture in Italy.
founding
Conventional construction accounts for roughly 40% of global CO₂ emissions. H.0.ME. was founded to prove that building better is entirely possible — and that “better” means healthier, more beautiful and more enduring.
We are a bespoke construction and consultancy atelier for prestige properties, based in Avellino. We design and build with a timber frame and hemp-lime walls, using the construction system documented by Hemp Eco Systems (Switzerland) — 25 years of research and development, now available in Italy.

We do not build in series. Every project begins with deep listening: to the client, the site, the light. We bring together engineering, architectural and research expertise to provide comprehensive consultancy — from the first conversation to final sign-off.
