This wildly massive 3D-printed home is the first of its kind: ‘[It] can withstand the hurricanes and heavy storms’ (msn.com)

What makes this project different is that it’s the first multistory house constructed using this method in the U.S. “One of the things about printing a second story is you require, you know, the machine,” says architect Leslie Lok, who designed the new home. “And of course, there are other challenges: structural challenges, logistic challenges when we print a second-story building.”

The home Hannah built is a two-story, three-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot house, Garcia reports. The design takes about 330 hours total to print, using a machine that weighs more than 12 tons.
