Greenhouse By Joost
Directors: Rhian Skirving, Bruce Permezel — 81m — 2022

Greenhouse By Joost follows internationally renowned zero-waste campaigner Joost Bakker as he builds a self-sustaining home in Melbourne; an ecosystem that provides its occupants with food, water, shelter and energy.

Each phase of construction offers an opportunity to investigate a different element of the house, from the timber, to the soil, to the compostable plastic wrap that protects the parts being delivered. Every detail of the build must live up to Bakker's exacting standards; it must be recyclable, non-toxic and it must not generate any waste.

As the build progresses, we meet the community Bakker is working with to make the project happen, from gardeners, to fish experts, architects to mushroom growers.

Greenhouse By Joost is an uplifting look at the teamwork and ingenuity behind a paradigm-shifting project that may just satiate those hungry for a glimpse at a greener and more beautiful future.
