Project Overview:
House Zero is a radical field trial for new construction technology. It’s also an efficient and comfortable single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit, designed for permanence and resilience, rooted in its East Austin context.
The design team collaborated with software developers, robotics engineers, and material scientists to create a new set of architectural innovations and strategies for printed concrete construction. The result is a welcoming, practical home that is desirable, livable, and that expands the performance capabilities of 3D printing technology. Natural wood, plentiful daylighting and views to nature provide a timeless and rooted-to-the-earth quality.
