when designing the fibonacci house, twente additive manufacturing wanted to pay tribute to the beauty of nature while highlighting the flexibility of 3DCP’s additive manufacturing methods. Built using TAM 3D concrete printers, the structure uses a two-sheet hollow wall construction, providing thermal insulation and preventing thermal bridges and condensation in the walls.

the house was printed offsite in just 11 days by a concrete printer designed and sold by twente additive manufacturing, which means faster onsite assembly time and lower power consumption. a total volume of 800,000 m3 of concrete was printed on 20 pieces. virtually everything other than cement was made from sustainably harvested cedar and fir from the harrop procter community forest, adjacent to the village of Kootenay Lake.
