House

Twente Additive Manufacturing has designed what it calls the first 3D-printed home in Canada. Named the Fibonacci House, the concrete tiny house is inspired by the Fibonacci number sequence, and is available for rent on Airbnb.

We typically associate Canadian tiny house builder Minimaliste with large and luxurious models that stand up to extreme weather. Its latest build offers the same hardy design, but has been shoehorned into a home with a length of just 22.5 ft.

Scotty The Tiny House was designed for a client with an architect in the family, meaning that drawings were provided showing exactly what was needed – a tiny house with a focus on storage space and offering a relatively large kitchen area.

The Purple Palace isn't a palace, nor is it even purple, but what it does offer is a compact tiny house at a relatively low cost. Build Tiny went to considerable lengths to keep the price down by focusing on the basics.

3D printing has the potential to construct houses faster and cheaper than with traditional building techniques, and Habitat for Humanity is making a 3D-printed home in the US that it hopes will be a blueprint for affordable housing.

The American Institute of Architects has revealed the recipients of its annual Housing Awards. This year's selection includes a house and office that received an energy efficient renovation, and a beach house that meets awkward zoning requirements.

Minimaliste's Magnolia V8 offers similar exterior styling to previous iterations of the tiny home but is topped by a rooftop deck area. Its interior boasts enviable home comforts too, such as underfloor heating, a bathtub, and a dishwasher.

Though 3D-printed architecture is still relatively new, Icon has already produced projects in Mexico and the US. The firm has now teamed up with Lake|Flato Architects to create another new 3D-printed home in Texas using its next-gen 3D printer.

Minimaliste's recently completed Noyer XL takes the spacious design of its hardy Noyer tiny house and makes it even bigger, with a home measuring 35 ft in length that offers a generous interior layout and lots of storage space.

The latest tiny house by Baluchon measures a mere 6 m in length but serves as a full time home. Its compact interior squeezes in space for a living area with a sofa bed for guests, and the firm added a net upstairs that provides a place to relax.

3D-printing company WASP and partner Mario Cucinella Architects have completed the TECLA 3D-printed house, which is the first eco-sustainable housing model to be constructed entirely from local raw earth materials using 3D-printing technology.

The recently completed Ébène V4 tiny house offers a relatively roomy interior layout with some home comforts not always associated with a towable home, including a bathroom with a tub and large kitchen that boasts a dishwasher.
