I think what would be amazing with the 3D printing aspect of these house would be to let us design our own houses kinda like in a program like the Sims game, where we could shape our own place and then talk with a professional architect that would maybe alter it a bit and then the house would get printed!
I agree with Shelby, entire communities are needed. And maybe a more portable printer, such as one that could do a pool house/back-house, or an "addition" on site, giving more people access to the vibe of a 3D printed, livable/workable space would be pretty epic. It could eliminate steal sheds, and being fire resistant, also very cool. Re-enforceable home safe areas (fire resistant), interior and exterior texture specs etc., all they need is a mold for the ceilings to sit and they would be dialed!
dude i can barely scrape change from my full time job to get a 135k house :i get paid 21$ an hour:...💀\
Edit: yes becuase of inflation the house was 60k in 2007 ,lucky previous owner, now that much and im trying to move in.
The problem is that cost is still higher than a traditionally built home
Half a million!
I'm getting a 3D printed house here in Japan for a much more affordable price ($50,000). Only downside is this is still a new technology so there's a massive waiting list. It could be several years before the house actually gets build, but for 50 grand and a sturdy reinforced steel concrete build, I reckon it's worth the wait!
50 grand is nothing. How big is the house to be built?
@@koreanname 50 square meters (540 square feet). There's a new 70 m2 (750 ft2) model coming out, so I'm waiting for that now. Price TBD.
That's amazing! basically 1k USD per sq. meters@@guanxinated
The price is most likely including the land, for what it’s worth. I’m sure a 1500-2100 sq foot house in Japan isn’t $50k once you include land and everything.
@@DanDaniel-sx6iq You're right, but I guess it depends. I you look hard enough you can find a 3000+ sq foot plot of land in the suburbs of Tokyo for less $40,000 (at the current exchange rate), so it's not all that expensive.
Not as cheap as I would like it to be, but it's not hopeless.
I really like the visual texture of the walls and the rounded corners have a more organic look. These new thinner layers are much more attractive than the coarser layers shown earlier in the video.
The texture of the walls is actually nice, like a design element. 🤷🏾♀
I agree, I really like it.
Imagine cleaning that 😮
It is, but I'm curious how the renovation looks like or after a renovation. It's probably impossible to re-create the design of the walls.
Can they print me out a woman . Design and build her.
@@vidpetrovic8907eh just a quick vacuum one room at a time
I would definitely buy a 3D printed home here in Florida. Besides hurricane resistance I think it would stay cooler and need less AC use. Curious, why don't you like the 3D in the bedrooms?
Yes, I would definitely consider it… I would have to see it in person, and it would have to be in the location I wanted. But I like the overall look and love the energy efficiency.
It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-income strategist. I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments.
Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?'.
I just came across her web page, I went through her resume and I must say it was quite impressive. I reached out to her and I have booked a session with her`
I live in a traditional concrete building so I can see the benefits. Going with 3D printed construction makes the home more functional and more durable. Since it costs the same to build as a wood-framed home, you get that along with added energy efficiency and a modern aesthetic. I could see myself living in one for sure.
From the number I seen it cost the builders less than a normal home, but why would anyone sell something for less when you can sell it for higher. That being said getting a higher quality home at the same price us def worth it.
@richardmenz3257 exactly especially when supply is low. Its just business
The walls would be a nightmare to clean from dust build-up. Also, the "modern aesthetic" of this is literally one of those that will age very, very quickly. I'd rather build something that will still loook good and not extremely dated in a couple decades or maybe even just a few years. IMO it already looks dated, like the houses from the 60's or something.
@@12345678bobster these homes can have smooth walls. Other 3d home builders do that but icon is having the walls like this to make the homes cheaper. Don’t have to pay anyone to manually smooth while printing but they said they could do that anytime but they found people like the 3d printed lines more (idk if true or cheaping out)
How is electrical and plumbing run? Is the plumbing inside of the concrete wall, being added as it is built? If so, what happens when a pipe bursts?
As a European, I never really understood the wooden framing + drywall system for the homes in the States. I think 3D printed houses of concrete would indeed be much safer and more durable, so I think it's 100% worth the additional cost. If it was available in my area, I'd definitely consider them!
Shelby this was so nicely done. I loved your dolly shot right at the beginning of the video. You make this look so easy and I really enjoyed this video. I completely agree with you about it being a little offsetting of the cement walls in the bedroom.
Those "dolly shots" are all shot with a drone. Yes I agree the video is very nice. I would buy a 3D-printed home. The concrete keeps the heat/cool air in longer.
I think the texture of the walls is nice but if you really didn’t like them it’s easy enough to just get them plastered. Only problem I can think is the amount of dust settling in the walls. Lots of hoovering!
Dust would be a nightmare. I happen to live in the country side and have horses. Dust and sand would be a real problem with these walls.
House Zero is my favorite, I love the combo of the 3D and the wood.
After seeing houses burning down from wildfires, the concrete homes definitely seem like a good idea.
I guess it's possible to throw on some plaster and paint or wallpaper if you don't like the structure? I think it's cool, especially paired with the rounded design, it gives off a very calming and natural feeling, no sharp edges, more organic.
The walls actually make it look really cozy and natural, more like an adobe and other early forms of housing, like things have come full circle!
I haven't watched the video yet, but I am SO excited for this! My husband and I drive past this development all the time and we've always wondered what the insides looked like!
In the high wind-speed areas of the country, houses with rounded corners, hold up better, compared to the 90 degree corners, like we may see on wood/stucco constructed structures. *(So I have heard)* . Like to learn more about how well these hold-up / stand up over time. Thanks for showing / sharing.
I don't think you have to worry about a wolf blowing this house down. :)
Great video! Love the look of these homes, and the durability. It's about time for new ideas in home building.
I would definitely buy one of these. Especially to use myself for a couple of years and then rent out; the aspect of these houses lasting much longer than wood houses is great for rentals since they will for sure last a lifetime with minimal renovations
Awesome video Shelby, they’re always so informative!
I feel like I would personally prefer something like house zero with more wood/plaster than something entirely 3D printed, but I do think the aesthetic of the concrete is still interesting and something a lot of people would like!
It's a very nice house. Houses are no longer affordable, depending on state. I love to see one in person. The house isn't expensive it's the land. When I looked at new construction, a house across the street in a different city cost over $40k more with a similar floor plan just because of the city. I don't see paying over an extra $40k to live in a more popular city is worth it and it's right across the street from another city which is more affordable.
Great informative video as always!
This is so freaking cool, I don’t know that I would buy one personally because I really like the idea of a traditional home but it’s amazing to see what they can do and what’s out there. Loved this video Shelby ❤
Awesome video! Can’t wait to see if the is becomes mainstream in the next few years/decades. I would totally be willing to buy one especially if it came with solar panels already installed. I would pay a premium for a product that is more efficient and could withstand fire/wind/moisture.
Really cool to see this. For sure would like to see how well these hold up over 5+ years
Such beautiful house 😮
Yep, Shelby, I sure would. Currently live in Florida and can totally see the overall safety and benefits of having a home like this. Great content, thanks!
High winds will still break windows, doors and the roof. These are all susceptible to water damage as well.
@@SomeUserNameBlahBlah i rather replace a broken window than my entire f**** house
This is one of the reasons I love watching your stuff, great insight and awesome tech!! I think I would buy one but I would want to know the numbers in terms of energy and long term savings. This would be a great idea to create quick housing for fire or disaster victims. Great video!
I wonder if a construction worker can come through with a smoothing tool. To smooth the internal walls before they dry. Or add an attachment to the machine, which smooths the bottom 3 layers while laying the 4th layer.
3D printers don't have the capability to have attachments added for this kind of function. You'd have to add in an additional machine to do that and/or workers which kinda defeats the purpose of the project.
i feel like that would just make the structure not work and lose its integrity
It's concrete, you can smooth out the walls you want, it's done all over the world outside of the United States..
Thanks for doing this video Shelby pretty cool
I learned a lot with this one video. Thank you so much, Shelby! I think you've got yourself a new subscriber. :) These are sweet, and I love how it makes the process not only quicker, but safer, but I hate to see that it didn't affect the price at all. Hopefully one day! Surely those giant printers weren't cheap to manufacture!
Shelby the video is great! I know from watching the vlog you weren’t feeling 100%, but man you can’t tell this is amazing as always
Remodels seem like they would be a nightmare.
I disagree. If you are putting plasters over it you can change the textures drastically. You can also put laminate or vinyl floor to cover the concrete floors.
that's becauce you guys (american) is used to live in dry wood home, for us (mostly european, asian, and african) we already get used to it
@@margotk538 moving walls, not cosmetic improvements.
Hello Shelby, this is definitely the way forward with house building, labour efficient and the concrete can be recycled,it looks nice. A nice palace for queen Shelby ✌️❤️🇬🇧
This one looks much better and more consistent conpared to the short videos i have seen where the layers seem inconsistent and at some parts even dripped off. I think its nice and the texture would be complimentary with led lights.
I like the 3D printed finish and don't even mind the stark white interior. Best of all is that the house is practically maintenance free.
looks like it would be hard to remodel/customize later.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I would definitely do that but property prices in the Bay Area is wild.
Wondering if you can make videos on these futuristic prefabricated houses from China
You do such amazing job 👍 keep going love it 👍
Superinteresting! I like the wood paneling of House Zero. That one I would buy.
You have such great content. Where did you find this 3D Printed house?
100% i would buy a 3d printed house, the tour and layout is beautiful. I like it a lot and the textured walls are surprisingly nice looking !
Heck yeah, I would buy one! It would solve a lot of the problems we're having with our mid-century house in Seattle. The moisture/mold problems from all the rain, the wood rot, the ants that love to chew through the wood. The only thing I could see that might annoy me is cleaning all those seams between the layers from the dust that will collect there. I would have to invest in a heavy duty filtration system!
GREAT and informative video!!
Your videos are getting more and more professional.
Yes if it was available in Sweden I would.
For sure! We live In a community surrounded by forest and coastal winds. A fireproof home is my goal. ❤
Very interesting video - I never knew about 3D printing homes
Great video, Shelby! 3D printed buildings definitely have a place in residential and commercial construction
I like this home build in 3d concrete because it looks like more home in Europe as US homes in wood or fake walls.
Stunning eco home. When I'm in the market for a home, I'll be looking into 3D Printed Homes.
i feel like these should be a lot more affordable as a house can be completed in such a short amount of time in addition to needing less workers. they are probably jacking the price up bc it's something new and different that they can market at this time bc it's still fresh. just like shipping containers. they should be more affordable, but people charge ridiculously for them just bc of a mere hype and trend. unfortunate.
These would make a good starter home at half the price. I would never buy one since I would want something I could renovate myself to increase the value over time, but for a younger generation that have to call their Dad to hang a picture on the wall this could work.
This could be a big answer for places like CA and CO where wildfires are a big problem.
This is so cool! I hope this comes to other states. I would LOVE to buy one!
Shelby, this video was professional, informative, and well presented. I gave you two likes 🙂
Now that was interesting. My biggest concern would be all the groves that are created with this style of concrete wall construction. All the micro-particles of dust, dirt, even dead skin floating around will just settle within the groves of the walls. And as for the outside walls, how long before plant life settles within the groves. It'd be interesting to see how white those interior walls would still be and how clean the exterior would look after a few short years. Time will tell. As for termites, fire and rot - aren't the roof trestles made out of wood? Thanks Shelby.
By all means, lets...
I guess the walls on both the inside and outside could be covered by spray-on concrete or similar.
Curious to know if you could go back over it to fill in the cracks.
There are many different ways to permanently fill in the groves at a later time if you want. You could even tile them over.
houses only have dust when they are built like shit ie not air tight
Would be great if these builders of 3D homes would get into building actual affordable ones, just like the those in Mexico. It can be done. Nice video by the way. Subscribed 😎
I really like the texture of the walls, I wonder what effect it has on acoustics.
Shelby, I must certainly would buy one. As long as it came with a pool, I'm there for it! I find them most attractive. I wonder will they blend solir panels on top of the roof? I
I've lived in brick homes and stone homes. They do protect you from the elements! You had me at mold and termite resistance! 😅 Great review, thanks!! 🤗
I actually really like the textured/curved walls! Especially with it being white!
100% better then your typical wood frame house. hope this becomes the new tract home development to stand the test of time. roof overhang can be shortened in tornado or hurricane prone places. essentially an on ground bunker.
You are either seriously stupid or clueless
Any plans on this partnership building in any of the Vegas suburbs? Thanks for the video.
It's cool to see this technology coming along. Hopefully in another 10-20 years it'll provide a substantial improvement over classic construction.
I love this video!! I would considere a printed home for sure. They look awesome!
One huge difference between traditional wooden walls and this 3D printed concrete is sturdiness, It can withstand hurricanes and turbulent air much much more than wood. SO this is very important in places susceptible to adverse weather conditions.
I would definitely buy one of these homes if it was near me, especially one in the House Zero style!
Thank you for the interesting video. I would definitely buy one if it was available where I wanted to live, mostly because they are sturdier and much more fire-resistant than a home with a wood frame. Do you know if there are multi-story 3d printed homes? All of the 3d printed homes I've seen in photos and videos are one story.
This is a great idea - many advantages - I would buy one for sure - they need to get the price down some.
Of course, I would buy one.
Solar panels included would be clutch
This is very interesting and something to consider. As you pointed out or I think you were trying to point out is the cost is going to be similar if not more so that part of it is not going to move that mindset toward a house. It can save you some money in the long run but probably not as much as you think. The real benefit seems to be the time of build and the energy savings.
Wow! Love it with the white inside! After seeing this video think I might actually consider one
Yes, I would buy! Love it!
Shelby, I live in FL. I have a cinder block home outside/addition later. Drywall inside. I would consider 3d printed walls sure. But I own the house, and it doesn't make sense for me to move. Energy efficiency ould be a plus though.
Can't wait to see the next upgrades of this new 3D printer, It would be nice if the next update removed the layers and replaced them with a single wall block without layers or humps
Great video!
I loved the textured walls the bedrooms I thought were a bit small But overall I wud definitely buy one of these if they come to the UK ❤
Curious about how to run additional electrical wires, fix plumbing, or access and fix other things that are hidden behind the wall. I can't imagine making holes and patching it up will look remotely the same. It appears that most everything is done from the top down before insulation is installed.
I love the curves and reckon they'll become a trend moving forward!
Do these walls have some kind of dust protection? I can only see it as a cleaning nightmare.
You should do a video on Thermalog homes from Boreal in Canada. I'm getting an Albany kit in the coming weeks I'll be building.
Question. If you applied mud or plaster to the gaps, the wall would look just like drywall or standard concrete wall right?
I wonder how well one of those homes would stand up to a hurricane. I live in Miami, FL. The building codes down here are strict and were made even more strict after Hurricane Andrew. Houses are built out of cinder blocks that's then filled with concrete. Basically, our homes are bunkers designed to withstand hurricanes. Would those 3D printed homes be able to meet the building codes where I live?
Also, can that 3D technology be used to print a multistory home or building?
All the while I'm thinking about the potential trade off between 3d printed house and prefab homes. Maybe u could do a comparison video
Absolutely would! I would love to hire the 3D printer to do everything it can and finish the home myself. I bet you’d save a lot of money that way vs buying one fully built.
I love it!!!❤
Such a great idea! I would buy a 3D printed home. ❤
absolutely, yes! I would buy one. It is probably going to be bigger test to the world when the homes are exposed to Tornadoes in OK or Hurricanes in Florida. it would also be neat to see these homes with full solar or wind power alternatives.
Has any thought been given to treating the interior walls of a concrete home so a variety of paint products can be applied without staining the concrete permanently, something to enable occupants to customize the color scheme?
Concrete is such a major polluter. I'd be interested to know how it stands up enviromentally to a typical new build.
Concrete construction is standard in Europe where wood is expensive not to mention scarce.
Does anyone know is those houses can have a second floor printed as well?
It looks like all the houses I've seen so far have only a ground floor, I wonder if the structure can't support a second floor?
I would especially since it's stronger in a hurricane. Hopefully they could become more affordable as well!
I wonder how it would hold up in the winter time, this seems like it would do good in areas like Texas, or Arizona etc. not sure how it would do in Florida or NY. has anyone seen it hold up to the winter elements?
I like the aesthetic a lot, and as an architect I appreciate the reduction in time relating to construction. As to the price point I think the novelty of it along with the design firm's celebrity status inflates the value of the home at the moment. I'm sure at some point it may level off, when demand will be higher or more common place for this type of construction method.
You think this saves time?
I took a tour of the Georgetown development in September and actually stayed in a 3D-printed AirBnB in Austin built by Icon. Its very interesting and I think there will be a place for it among the many ways to erect a home. What I did not like about the Georgetown development was the idea of living in a cookie cutter home.....which is typical of most large developments. I suspect the building of multiple homes on a site is a requirement to keep the cost of setting up the concrete equipment manageable. Building a single 3D printed home will more likely have to fall in the luxury segment for that reason. Good stuff, but I don't foresee widespread use until lumber becomes wildly expensive.
Yes, I would consider it.
Thanks for making this video. I am impressed by what ICON has been able to do. I would definitely buy a 3D printed house if it was offered in the right location. Serious defects are common in traditional homes built during the recent housing boom, and are almost impossible for a layman (or even a home inspector) to detect. Having been through a recent new home construction experience, I would much prefer a 3D printed house over a traditional framed house.
I like how mud bot has a way to have smooth walls. It be cool to have an addition for that. Like pay 30 k to have smooth walls or leave as is.
I'm almost sure there is a way to make those walls flat if you wanted. Probably not bondo filler, but i'm sure there is some product out here to fill the print lines on something that large so you can paint over it. I smooth my 3d prints out already.
