(NEXSTAR) – The world’s largest 3D-printed home is for sale in Riverhead, New York.
The three-bed- room, two-bath- room home fea- tures 1,400 square feet of liv- ing space plus a 750-square-foot garage. It was printed on a quar- ter-acre plot of land.
The $299,999 home at 34 Millbrook
Lane took just eight hours to print over an eight-day period,
according to design
firm SQ4D.
Construction of the home cost less than $6,000 in materials.
According to
SQ4D, the home was built using ARCS patented technology, which can robotically build foundations, walls, utility con- duits and more. The system reportedly
reduces on-site labor to as few as three people, and accounts for up to 41 percent of the construction of a home.
SQ4D designed the technology
with the housing crisis in mind, cit- ing the fast build time and low cost of materials.
Stephen King, the listing agent, said in a press release:
“At $299,999, this home is priced 50% below the cost of compara- ble newly con- structed homes in Riverhead,
NY and repre- sents a major step towards addressing the affordable hous- ing crisis plaguing Long Island.”
According
to Redfin, the median sale price of homes in Long Island is $540,000.
SQ4D says it cur- rently has building plans under review stretching from California to New York.
