ProtoHouse by Softkill Design via Dezeen

London architecture team Softkill Design has designed a conceptual house that would be 3D printed in sections in a factory and fitted together on site. Designed to cantilever out from a hillside, the structure of the house was generated using an algorithm that imitates bone growth to deposit material where it is needed along lines of stress, resulting in a fibrous web rather than a solid envelope.

Aaron Silver of Softkill Design told Dezeen that 3D printing could result in cheaper buildings that use less materials. “I think there really is an interesting future for architecture and 3D printing,” he said. “You have great cost savings, material efficiency, things like that, which architects are vastly interested in.”
