It won’t be long before a 3D printed home pops up in your neighborhood, but how would you feel about your entire neighborhood being nothing but 3D-printed homes?!
That vision is almost complete at the Wolf Ranch subdivision near Austin, where almost a hundred homes have been designed and printed! Per Construction Briefing, the homes were codesigned by Icon and Bjarke Ingels Group, a multinational design firm.
Spencer Padgett, VP of construction for Icon, expects Wolf Ranch to be complete next year, and believes the 3D-printed homes can offer competitive prices for single-family homes.
The homes being constructed can range in size from around 1,850 sq ft (172m2) and start at around $430,000.
Padgett says the homes are also constructed to be more climate resistant and energy efficient.
