First 3d Concrete printed House in Florida – Clay Street, Tallahassee, FL
Located in Tallahassee, Florida, this 1,440 sq. ft., three bedroom, two bathroom residence is a groundbreaking response to the housing and skilled labor crisis facing the U.S. today. As a certified affordable housing project, it was designed with efficiency, durability, and flexibility in mind. This home challenges the traditional constraints of affordable housing, proving that innovation and sustainability can coexist with cost-effective construction. LLG is honored and proud to have designed the 1st 3DCP Custom House in Florida.
Key Features:
- 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms: A well-balanced layout maximizing both privacy and shared living spaces.
- Efficient Open-Concept Design: Bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned along one side of the plan, while the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly together to create a spacious, functional environment.
- Stacked Bathrooms for Efficiency: Back-to-back placement of bathrooms optimizes construction, materials, and long-term maintenance.
Architectural & Construction Highlights:
- 3D Printed Walls by Printed Farms: Utilizing the COBOD BOD2 printer, all exterior and interior walls were printed directly onto a pre-poured slab, integrating structural, electrical, and insulation components within the wall system.
- Durability & Sustainability: Unlike conventional affordable housing, this structure offers enhanced resilience, energy efficiency, and reduced material waste. This home is hurricane, flood, fire, and insect resistant making it last longer and increasing insurability in a tough insurance market.
