Netherlands’ Project Milestone is set to get two more 3D-printed homes, but unlike the first batch, these new structures will consist of several floors. Their structural properties are derived entirely from the printed concrete, but in the shape of a habitable ‘boulder’.
The first home is set to be three floors spanning a total floor space of nearly 1,370-square-feet, while the second one boasts two floors over 1,230-square-feet. Both will have three bedrooms and can be comfortably inhabited by families of up to four people. Printing will commence in 2025, with the goal to complete them by the summer.
