The city of Austin, Texas is known for several things including a vibrant live music scene, diverse culinary offerings and iconic buildings such as the State Capitol Building, but the city is also going to add a further badge to its list by becoming home to a massive 3D-printed neighborhood that will comprise 100 family homes.
Developed as part of a collaboration between 3D-printed construction specialists Icon, homebuilding firm Lennar and the architectural practice of Bjarke Ingels Group, this particular 3D-printed neighborhood will solely comprise single-family homes, each of which will take advantage of sustainable technologies such as solar panels to serve their energy needs.
With construction set to begin in 2022, this 3D-printed neighborhood is set to usher in a new era in the use of innovative construction techniques to create sustainable residential communities.
