Print me a house — top 7 residential buildings printed on a 9D printer0001

Currently, there is a real technological breakthrough, thanks to which three-dimensional printers have appeared and the ability to print small architectural forms on them. Moreover, today in many countries of the world you can see printed houses and buildings in which you can really live, and 7 of them deserve special attention.

House of the Future in the UAE

The name of this building, built in 2016, speaks for itself. And according to the words of the Government, the "House of the Future" became the first building, every detail of which was created using a printer in China.

The construction took a record 17 days and only 140 thousand dollars.

Like typical buildings, the "House of the Future" is equipped with running water, electricity and even the Internet. Now the office is actively used for various exhibitions and work events of the Future Foundation.

Chinese Villas by WinSun

In 2014, 10 houses built with modern technology appeared in the industrial park of Jiangsu Province in China. Different types of buildings were made for the exhibition by the popular company Shanghai WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co. Houses have a different type of appearance, but at the same time they are distinguished by a relatively low cost.

Thus, the most expensive cost for the company was 3 thousand pounds sterling.

A year later, WinSun presented two more printed buildings in Suzhou City. In terms of their external decoration, they differed little from the usual buildings, which cannot be said about the material that was used for their construction. The walls were made from building waste, which held its shape thanks to a special hardener.

Yaroslavl project

In 2017, the first residential building in Europe appeared in Yaroslav, which was recreated using 3D technologies. It took 2 years to build the house, but it took only a month to plant the main “box” on the foundation. Most of the work was carried out using a portal printer.

Today the Yaroslavl House looks a little different from the usual living quarters.

It is also equipped with all necessary communications, being ready to move in. The AMT-SPECAVIA company was engaged in the construction of an atypical house, and its main task was to print a building suitable for life, and not at all another exhibition item.

Fairy Castle in Minnesota

Andrey Rudenko from Minnesota has developed his own 3D printer and decided to try it out by printing a small structure in his backyard. This building was a miniature castle, symbolizing the active development of modern technologies in architecture and construction.

The building turned out to be truly fabulous.

The miniature castle, like its full-fledged relatives, received pointed towers and graceful arches. In the course of printing, Rudenko used the maximum tuning configurations, declaring that he was going to build a full-fledged living space with his help in the near future.

Italian house with a glass roof

In 2018, an atypical building with a glass roof with a total area of 100 sq m appeared in Italy, which was built in just a week. This speed was achieved through the use of a 3D printer to print individual elements.

The house was reconstructed by two Italian companies: Arup and CLS Architetti.

Amsterdam Hut

Natural disasters often cause loss of housing. The Amsterdam architectural studio DUS decided to make the process of restoring the house as comfortable as possible.

In the end, using a 3D printer and durable bioplastic, they printed a "City Cabin", which turned out to be completely habitable.

The 25 cubic meter building contains a fold-out bed, a table and a window. As for the bathroom, it is located on a small lawn near the house.

Apartments in the Philippines

Businessman Lewis Yakic decided to expand his hotel in the Philippines, choosing for this not the most standard way. For this purpose, the man invited the already mentioned Rudenko, who printed the apartment on a printer.
