What are we printing?
The first house will be a single-floor, 3-room house of 95 m2, with a wooden roof structure. Printing will start in 2020 and the house is expected to be ready for occupation mid-2020. The time between design and realization of the first house is relatively long, as all engineering has to be done for the first time ever. It is expected that the time between design and realization will eventually decrease radically.
The other four houses will be multi-storey houses. These houses will have printed concrete floors and a printed concrete roof. All houses will have foundations based on conventional concrete pouring technology.
The design of the houses is based on erratic blocks in a green landscape. The irregular shape of the buildings can be realized thanks to one of the key features of 3D-printing: the ability to construct almost any shape.
