That house is so different it's hard to imagine what it would be like living in it, but the combination of it being so unique, high end and small is beautiful and I can see why you like it. The color of the wood brings such warmth to the house, and that is my favorite wood color for a house interior. I watch the channel of Enes Yilmazer and a few others because I like seeing what architects come up with when sometimes the budget is unlimited. The homes are often ridiculous, spaces too large for a person to feel comfortable. Some of the best design ideas come in boats, RVs and tiny homes, because the design has to be optimized for function, including multi-use of space. That the 3D printing of walls allows different shapes to be made without it costing more is an exciting development though. It's good to see ICON exploring its potential.

🤗🤩🤩WE AGREE WITH YOU JARETT…AND HOPE YOU GET TO STAY THERE…WHILE IT IS A MODEL WE LOVE ❤️ THE PROGRESS AND FREEDOM 3D PRINTING ALLOWS 😍😍😍

Love how they show off that it's also a BETTER wall with this project!

I was born n raised and still own a poured concrete house. Thaat house was a WW2 bomb shelter. Thats how sturdy they are. The walls get warm/ cool and stay that way, helping electric costs. These houses are awesome. Theres no danger of landfill wastes - except roof.

The 3D print quality (the layers) has massively improved since some of icons other places. Well done ICON!

This is the first 3-D printed home that I like the texture of the walls - they look like a soft weaving (so I appreciated the way the designer brought in wall hangings and rugs that reflected this!). I have questions - how does one hang a picture in a 3-D printed home? How are the walls repaired from wear and tear over time? Does the texture catch dust? Can you add windows that don't run floor to ceiling? Could you open up the space using half-walls instead of whole walls? I look forward to seeing more of these homes.

Please, please, please bring these homes to Florida. We need them NOW! I will build one, we are in Tampa.

IconBuild is doing amazing things.

I have been following your review since ICON's inception and now has really made progress as new technologies come into play. There are still so many people stuck on stick frame building which cannot keep up with the demand or give the performance economically that will be required by the NetZero requirements in the very near future. This has certainly made my decision to build 3-D printed house and not a stick frame. Even back in 2010 we build a Integra Block house which is so tight, solid and sound proof and then build a stick frame home to achieve this performance would be so expensive, high maintenance and not near the life span of 3-D printed houses. Thanks for the update Jarett!

In 8 years, by 2030, new houses have to be NetZero ready and compliant by 2050, not to far away. The issue that is not seen today are the standard stick frame built houses that will need to be retrofitted to meet this standard, not so bad if a house is in need of renovation but not good for new house owners in the years coming up before 2030. I do feel a bit for home owners whom may get caught in the middle as the initial price of a home is expensive already and then requirements for NetZero will compound the expense their home. Just my opinion based on what we know today.

Yes, an individual house gets completed very quickly, but overall the total number of printed houses being made in the world is tiny. I would love to live in a 3D printed house, but currently, they simply are not available to "normal" people. The 3D house are either used to create model homes (such as this video), or tiny houses for homeless people. These are all great uses, but not available to me. I have tried to order a 3D printed house, but the printing companies are just too busy doing their showcase projects at this point. It will be very exciting when there is enough capacity in the industry that a "normal" buyer can just order one.

I'd imagine that dying the concrete would actually be fairly easy. Just mix whatever dye into the concrete prior to feeding it into the printer. You very well might have some issues with ensuring color matching depending on the color and size of the home though but you could probably mitigate that by just using two different mixers to pull from to ensure that each one gets the right amount of dye and time to mix in. Be like running two different spools of PLA into the same extruder on an Ender 3.

(Personal passions; room for improvement :-)

Can a home like this be built n California, especially since California has earthquakes?

I wonder if at the windows and doors a robot could cut a straight line into the beads so that you can install a window in a straight square opening? Where they have the metal edge for the shower it seems to make sense to do a simple clean vertical cut and stick a piece of metal in there with minimal caulking (potentially in the inseam) to help with the install process. If you did that on both sides you wouldnt have to worry about thermal bridging and if by robot then it could be really precise. Just a thought, it seems that the interface of the vertical connections is the weakest point but this idea could be an option to solve that. I'd be interested to see if frost protected shallow slabs could be used and even basement printing as well. Here is cold canada we typically have basements since we have to be so deep below the frost line.

Nothing wrong with that all being surface mounted, so if there ever is a problem, you could fix it without tearing a wall apart and rebuilding.

I can't hep but wonder if with the method that the icon houses are built that automatically creates grooves between every layer if this design doesn't provide similar benefits for heat dissipation? Has Icon tested their buildings "R Factor"? I would love to know what this is prior to the "Trades" installing insulation, as I did not hear anything about the inherit "R Factor" of their buildings yet. I would assume the "R Factor" has to be pretty decent with their design and could be significantly higher with double walls where there is an additional air gap between the inner and outer wall. Either way it has to have a built-in value for saving energy which could be ridiculously increased with the proper insulation material, which makes me wonder if Icon has researched the best material/option for insulating their buildings, especial when they are expecting to be building on the moon...
