PERI 3D Construction Custom Prints Nation’s Largest 3D Printed Home

Making an Imprint in Houston, Texas

3D printed construction continues to have a measurable impact on the industry because of its ability to reduce costs and increase efficiency. 

The latest example is in Spring Branch, Texas, now the home of the first multi-story 3D printed house in the United States. 

PERI 3D Construction worked collaboratively with HANNAH, an architectural-based design firm; and CIVE, a construction engineering company, on the groundbreaking project, which integrated the cement formation into wood framing.

When Customization Matters

The design of the four-story, 30,000-square-foot, high-end home called for several geometry changes and architectural features.

“The owner of the house has a lot of collections and wanted to showcase these with overhangs, shelves, and triangular walls, which made this house such an ambitious project,” said Roberto Montemayor Cantu of PERI. “We wanted to showcase what the possibilities were and highlight elements that are typically very challenging to achieve with 3D printing technology.”

The home’s design elements include a 3D-printed kitchen island and fireplace, a 40-foot-tall chimney and double exterior walls for increased insulation to make the home water, wind, and fire-resistant. 

Efficient, Automated Homebuilding 

PERI 3D Printed Solutions offer increased productivity in the construction industry, building homes with special precast elements, faster and at lower costs than traditional methods. With an automated manufacturing process, PERI 3D Printed Solutions primarily focuses on residential construction and the production of individual prefabricated parts. 

“PERI brought a more unique, holistic approach to 3D printed solutions on this project”, said Montemayor Cantu.” We sat down with the structural engineer, architects, and sub-contractors to develop very custom, specific solutions.”

Move-In Ready

Construction on the house began from the ground up in May 2022. Printing began in July 2022, and was completed in May 2023.
