MycoHab is a pilot project situated at Brakwater, just north of Windhoek.
It aims to develop a new way to produce building material, create food security, agricultural jobs and dignified low-cost housing all at once.

Implemented by Standard Bank Namibia in cooperation with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Centre for Bits and Atoms and US architecture firm redhouse studio. The relatively simple process aims to solve complex problems that Namibia is presently facing.

The process uses encroacher bush species like Acacia mellifera as a substrate to grow gourmet mushrooms which are sent to various supermarkets in Windhoek. Profits of the sales go to Buy-a-Brick, a Standard Bank Namibia project that aims to enable disadvantaged Namibians living in shacks to build a brick house that is safe and healthy to live in.

The used growth medium or waste product is turned into bricks which at the same time traps the carbon dioxide accumulated in these plants through their lifetime.
