Layers of sustainability: from Olympic impact, to 3D printing at scale and the eco-friendly luxury homes.

Renderings shape the first impressions. Their true strength lies in their versatility. They build trust and transparency, being a visual language. We are part of a bigger picture and we are passionate about our work.

OLYMPIC IMPACT

"From day one, one of the major concerns was to reduce to the minimum the use of temporary facilities and increase to the maximum the use of existing facilities." (Populous’ Francois Clement).

3D PRINTING AT SCALE

What if we could 3D print entire cities? Lovely idea! What kind of future settings and applications would this technology unlock? Great read on the future of 3D printing. House Zero from the image above, located in Austin, Texas, was completed in 2022. The project was materialized by using a 9500 pound robot that 3D printed the entirety of the residence’s walls. Find out here some pretty (not so) SF scenarios involving the 3D printing.

ECO-FRIENDLY LUXURY HOMES?

“This means we use passive and active sustainable design in both ground-up and renovation work for residences. These can include solar power, evacuated tube systems for hot water, geothermal systems, smart IoT landscape irrigation systems, and low-VOC specifications for interior finishes and construction materials” Discover Tommy Zung vision here.
