So far, it is a design prototype, but it may be the future of construction.

The first 3D printed concrete house was built in the Czech Republic according to the design of sculptor Michal Trpák and with the support of Stavební spořitelna Buřinka. It weighs 35 tons, the net time of its “printing” was 22 hours and has a living area of 43 square meters. Due to the uniqueness, the price has so far reached about ten million crowns, but printed buildings should bring a significant reduction.

“According to our calculations, the price of housing in serial printing could fall to about 30,000 per square meter. The cost savings are large, the printed house is built seven times faster than the classic building and the number of suppliers is also lower, “said Libor Vošický, head of Stavební spořitelna Česká spořitelna, who also took part in the ceremonial unveiling of the house on the Vltava waters.

Because the Czech building regulations do not yet know the printed building elements, the authors of the Protoss decided to place their work on a floating pontoon and make it practically a houseboat. By the way, this has also made it unique in the world, because it is said that no one has “built” a floating 3D printed house yet. “The house is governed by the shipping law and at the last minute we had to deal with renting a pontoon. Unfortunately, the tailor-made one from Sweden delayed the coronavirus, “says Michal Trpák, who gathered around himself the Scoolpt sculptural-architectural studio.

Its member is also his brother Ladislav Trpák, who estimates that printed 3D buildings will be larger in the Czech Republic within three to four years. The studio already has demands for other Protozoa and is also solving, for example, a fishing hut. According to him, construction, together with agriculture, is one of the least changing fields, and 3D printing could bring a revolution. This means less need for human labor and greater variability for architects and customers.
