“Prvok”, 3D-Printed Floating House,
Co-creation by sculptor Michal Trpak and Building Society Stavebni Sporitelna Ceske Sporitelny,
The firs 3D-printed house in the Czech Republic can be made within 48 hours, saving up to 50% of all construction costs, and greatly reduces CO2 emissions and waste.
A concrete mixture specially developed (enriched with nano-polypropylene fibers, plasticizers and a setting accelerator) is used to build the structure in less than two days
Its 43 square meters of floor space accommodates three rooms: a bathroom with toilet, living room with a kitchen, and a bedroom.
Owners are then partially self-sufficient with eco technologies like recuperation, re-circulation shower, green roof as well as reservoirs for drinking, utility and sewage water.
