World's largest 3D-printed housing development reveals completed model home

• https://newatlas.com By Adam Williams

Described as the largest-scale development of 3D-printed homes in the world, Wolf Ranch is being built by Lennar and Icon, and is co-designed by high-profile architecture firm the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). The project is part of a larger development by Hillwood Communities Development that will also contain traditionally built homes.

The 100 3D-printed houses range from 1,500 - 2,100 sq ft (roughly 140 - 195 sq m), all on one floor. They come in eight different floorplans and offer either three or four bedrooms and two or three bathrooms. Their overall design is inspired by traditional Texas ranches.

The completed home pictured is being used for would-be buyers to get an idea of what living in a 3D-printed house is really like. At first glance it looks much like any other modern home, though on closer inspection it features the telltale ribbed walls, which reveal it was created using a 3D printer. It looks light-filled and spacious inside, with generous glazing and a large open living area with included kitchen.
