Incredible Tiny 3D-printed Home at SXSW is Adorable
[Note: This story has been corrected since it was published earlier in the day. The printed home cost $10,000, not $4,000 as we originally reported, but the company hopes to get the cost down to the latter number.]
The first fully permitted, 3D-printed home meant for housing people in the developing world got its big reveal at SXSW on Sunday—and it’s quite the looker.
The house, revealed in East Austin at SXSW Monday, was the result of a collaboration between Austin-based Icon, a startup focused on creating new, sustainable building practices to make quality homes accessible to all, and New Story, a nonprofit dedicated to building low-cost homes (averaging around $6,500) internationally, with local materials and workers.
The 650-square-foot, cement home was printed onsite with Icon’s quite large printer, called the Vulcan, in 24 hours. The cost of the proof-of-concept home was $10,000, but Icon hopes to bring it down to $4,000 for a home like the one printed this week.
