Habitat for Humanity is looking to tackle the lack of affordable housing in Arizona by building its first 3D-printed home in the U.S.
The building site for the single-family home is located in the city of Tempe, according to a press release by Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona. Around 70 to 80 percent of the house will be printed, while the rest will be traditionally built.
Designed by the Scottsdale-based luxury architecture firm Candelaria Design, the home will have three bedrooms, two baths, 1,738 square feet of livable space, and is expected to be completed by the fall.
According to the press release, 3D-printed homes could pose a long-term solution to rising construction expenses such as materials and labor costs. In addition, using a 3D printer could allow Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona to build through risky high temperatures that would typically slow volunteer work.
