Tapping Residence
PROJECT DETAILS
Scope:
Supply and installation of all load bearing walls
Project Particulars:
Two storey home, with Contec walls and a concrete suspended slab
Using 3D printed Contec walls represents a groundbreaking approach to sustainable and efficient construction.
The home’s structure will be printed layer by layer using a specially formulated mix designed for 3D printing. This innovative process not only allows for faster construction but also reduces material waste significantly, as the material is deposited precisely where needed, minimizing excess. The design, which incorporates both modern aesthetics and functionality, showcases the potential of 3D printing to create complex, custom shapes that traditional construction methods would struggle to achieve. The home features a range of energy-efficient elements, including Contec walls that provide natural insulation and reduce the need for additional heating or cooling.
Beyond its environmental benefits, the 3D printed home in Tapping is also a testament to the potential for more affordable housing solutions. Traditional building processes can be costly and time-consuming, but 3D printing offers a more streamlined alternative, reducing labour costs and speeding up the construction timeline. The home’s walls are designed to be fire-resistant and acoustically rated, providing both safety and comfort for its occupants. With the use of durable, recycled materials and the ability to tailor designs to specific needs, Contec walls offer a sustainable, cost-effective, and adaptable solution for the future of residential construction.
