# Luxurious 3D-Printed Villas This Chinese Villa Was Assembled Entirely from 3D-Printed Pieces By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-07-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-pieces References: [weburbanist](http://weburbanist.com/2015/07/28/modular-record-3d-printed-chinese-villa-assembled-in-3-hours/) The design group 'ZhuoDa' recently unveiled a luxurious new home that was constructed entirely from 3D-printed pieces. China already contains the world's first [3D-printed apartment complex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-hsu) and now the country can add another impressive 3D-printed building to its portfolio. The [luxury villa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-villa) is located in the city of Xi’an and took a mere three hours to construct. The structure's 3D-printed pieces were delivered to the building site and were quickly assembled in order to produce a gorgeous two-story home. The villa features a durable earthquake-proof construction and a gorgeous luxury interior. Despite its impressive design, the home was extremely inexpensive to build, due to the fact that the majority of the construction was completed off-site. The speed of this type of construction meant minimal air and noise pollution for neighbors in the area. In a country that is experiencing an influx of urban construction, 3D-printed manufacturing may be ideal for future buildings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3d-printed Luxury:** The trend towards 3D-printed buildings suggests an opportunity for the creation of high-end, affordable property. - **Efficient Assembly:** The ability to assemble a fully-furnished villa in three hours could disrupt the construction industry and offer cost savings. - **Earthquake-proof Technology:** The incorporation of durable and earthquake-proof construction could revolutionize the construction industry and offer safer housing options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Construction:** The construction industry could benefit from disruptive technologies that present an opportunity for faster construction with less pollution. - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can take advantage of 3D-printed luxury homes as an opportunity to offer high-end properties at lower costs. - **Architecture:** The architecture industry can leverage the efficiency and flexibility of 3D-printed technology to create unique and innovative designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact 3d-Printed Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-house-lux.md) - [Multi-Storey 3D-Printed Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qr3d.md) - [3D-Printed Sturdy Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobod.md) - [Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biohome3d.md) - [Inaugural 3D-Printed Social Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lnen.md) - [3D-Printed Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-hotel.md) - [Organically Printed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lib-earth-house.md) - [3D-Printed Neighborhood Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolf-ranch.md) - [Fire-Safe 3d Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verovistas.md)
