Housing crisis + plastic overflow = prefab made of used bottles

Could two separate events, the housing crisis & plastic pollution, converge in a project to build homes? One LA-based startup 3D-prints modular backyard homes of recycled plastic that aim at lighter, faster, more affordable builds.
They 3D-print homes in one day using recycled plastics for less than $50,000. Using a massive 3D-printer, Azure Printed Homes prints the floor, roof and walls in a day and then finishes 99% of the home in their Culver City factory. Because the plastic is so light it can be put on the back of a truck and driven to the install site where it is connected to the foundation and utilities.
The first homes were built with post-industrial plastic waste, but Azure cofounder Ross Maguire explains that as the recycling revenue streams have gotten cleaner, they can now print with post-consumer waste, like plastic bottles.
Prices start at $43,900 for a 180 square-foot ADU (accessory dwelling unit), bathroom and kitchen included. Two modules for 360 sq-ft of floor space can be attached for $85,900. Permitting, foundation, delivery and installation usually cost an extra 20 to 30% of the price.
With the app, you can lightly design your home choosing from clear glass side walls, multiple window options, flooring, paint color, and you can add solar panels and battery and go off the grid. Maguire explains that because the home is printed in one monolithic unit there are no thermal bridges so the homes are very efficient to heat and cool.

My only concern would be fire. Years ago I worked in a prototype plastic house that was supposed to be the way of the future. You couldn't tell it was plastic but it was supposed to be very flammable and had really toxic fumes, hence why it never caught on. Our fire procedure was that at the first sign of fire everyone had to get out immediately, not even trying to put out a bin fire. I'm sure things have advanced a lot since then but I'd like to know the fire safety in these houses.

Very cool concept and tech, but I'm not sold on the affordable housing angle. Multiply that shed-sized unit a few times to get to the sq ft-age of a bungalow and well, you got a bungalow for the price of a bungalow. This feels more adapted to the glamping or AirBnB industry and perhaps or to add value to your property with a small rental unit, guest house, separate WFH office in their yard, etc. Ultimately, I'm not sure how affordable this is unless you're generating income with it. Kudos for re-using waste and striving for a zero-waste operation!

Municipal governments and their hunger for taxes and power are a major contributor to the housing crisis. There was a time, admittedly long ago, when you could build a house without being hindered by expensive permits and development fees. to say nothing of the excessive delays in getting such permits. Governments are supposed to serve us, but increasingly they appear to be our enemy and are hostile to our needs and wants.
@lisaphares2286
@lisaphares2286 8 ай бұрын
It depends on where you live. In places more rural there is no impact assessment and no building codes with permits being basic and on the inexpensive side. Flush toilets may become obsolete as it costs so much money to use gallons of potable water and then infrastructure to take it to be processed and cleaned before discharging into some body of water. Incinerating or composting toilets make more sense especially in areas where water is scarce. Plus poop and vegetable waste can be used to create methane that can be used to create electricity for heating or public transportation.

I've seen some other printed homes made from other composites of cement and biomaterials. I think what is interesting is that you can design everything on cad and take the machine to the site and let it do its work. All the plumbing and wiring could be done from the outside in, quite easily by perforating the wall only where it needs to be. Then the whole structure could be covered in an insulating layer with vents and vapor barriers. With no studs, you have cut out a lot of labour and also opened up possibility for a range of insulating and finishing materials. In the end, it could end up looking like a traditional house, even with shingled finish, or synthetic stone veneer to match the natural environment.

We have 3D printed, concrete based houses in the Czech Republic (so far only prototypes). I salute the recycling aspect, but I wouldn't expose permanently plastic to Sun, cold at night, rain, wind etc. I have concerns about the microplastic effect as well. Also I can't imagine that this structure can breath (maybe I'm wrong). So you immediately need a solution for that. My other concern is about any fire. I think the direction is good, but I'd prefer indoor versions of any plastic based structures (furniture, dividing walls, storage structures or even tiny blocks like in the video, but with more controlled heat and moist effects). The additional cost to make a box like this usable is very high. And you need at least 2-3 of these to be able to live there. If the video wouldn't suggest the product as a solution for housing problems, I'd feel less weird about it.

You certainly cannot live in it without a lot of work to turn it into a home, though. If you can do the work yourself, and have the time to find reclaimed materials, you may be able to do it cheaply. But if you don't have the talent or the time, and pay someone else to work with new materials, you may be close to the same price. Be sure to factor in permits and inspections of the work.

This is a great concept to improving the method to home construction. I see the value in cost to construct and speed. I’m struggling with the deprecation strategy of these units and it’s plastic composite materials. How does one recycle these homes as someone remodels or upgrades it requiring the demo of an existing structure? I’d feel more comfortable about an investment in a structure like this if I knew the supply chain model and what the house could be recycled into either after wear or where an upgrade is required.

i'm glad you got video of this. but using plastic in this way is unacceptable. hopefully the manufacturing process they developed can be transferred to a material that should exist, vs this unholy mix of recycled plastic and forever resins that should not be anywhere near a human.

I have questions about the ease of accessing the wall cavity for servicing and modifying electrical, plumbing, insulation, etc. How does the wall cavity breathe, or does it need to? How does this structure withstand varying climates and weather (high winds)? If this is a final product, I have concerns about its ability to accommodate change. I would want fairly easy access to the functions in the wall cavity. Finally, people's tastes and needs change over time, and this build seems too rigid to accommodate change. Not condemning (something I don't understand fully) just sincerely questioning something that seems interesting. Questions need not create a road block, rather foster design challenges.

Not bad, I like the use of recycled material and that construction is so fast. Additions to homes could cost that much so it's a nice fast add on for existing homes/properties for those kids who want privacy, rentals or when the in-laws stay for a bit. OR if you've been a bad spouse lol. Price will always be a question but what's realistic? We don't know the whole business cost, overhead etc.

A lot of white plastics yellow and become brittle in the sun. Wouldn't that happen to this as well?

I’d love to see cork flooring/walls/ceiling and any number of ways to reduce any accidental off gassing! (I know most of our homes are filled with off gassing whenever drywall gets damaged). I also love the open ended design. Half “A”s and “D”s would be lovely to combine and create and extend what already exists. Perhaps a small shell could just be a kitchen/bathroom with a living room/bedroom extension built forward and/or back. I am considering getting an ADU for my momma.
