H**P HERO: STEVE ALLIN 🙌
A pioneering Irish author and builder who created the global blueprint for sustainable h**p construction.
In 2005, Steve Allin authored Building with H**p, the world's first comprehensive guide to h**pcrete construction. Recognizing the need for a global network, he founded the International H**p Building Association (IHBA) in 2009, uniting practitioners and setting professional standards for the growing industry.
For decades, Allin has travelled the world leading hands-on workshops, personally training a new generation of builders in h**pcrete techniques. In 2021, he published H**p Buildings: 50 International Case Studies, a powerful showcase of the movement he helped create, proving its viability across diverse climates and cultures.
What makes Allin a H**p Hero is his dedication to sharing practical knowledge and demystifying h**p building. He transformed an experimental material into an accessible, low-carbon solution for creating healthy, energy-efficient homes, empowering people everywhere to challenge conventional construction.
His work has laid the foundation for an entire global industry, establishing him as a true founding father of the modern h**p building movement.
