A 3d Printed House Using Local Earth

There really is no limit to what can be achieved with 3d printing it seems. Mario Cucinella Architects and WASP have together created a 3d printed house made from local raw earth.

This domed structure is entirely created with reusable and recyclable materials. All sourced from the local soil, it's carbon-neutral and adaptable to any climate or location. Amazing really. 

Eco credentials aside, the structure is pretty pleasing to the eye. The outside might resemble more ant hill than house, but the interior pleasingly curves in a warm embrace. The ripples add a strokable texture and have the effect of both drawing the eye up and out as well as helping the space feel intimate and cosy.
