EINDHOVEN, NETHERLANDS -- Elize Lutz and Harrie Dekkers' new home is a 94-square meter two-bedroom bungalow that resembles a boulder with windows.

The house, for now, looks strange with its layers of printed concrete clearly visible - even a few places where printing problems caused imperfections. “Why? The answer is sustainability,” he said. “And the first way to do that is by cutting down the amount of concrete that we use.”A new generation of start-ups in the United States also are among the companies looking to bring 3D-printed homes into the mainstream.

The layers give a ribbed texture to its walls, inside and out. The house complies with all Dutch construction codes and the printing process took just 120 hours.

Brilliant! I love the innovations that come out of the Scandinavian Countries 👍
