Headline: Tenant Receives Key Of First Ever Dutch 3D-Printed Concrete 'Boulder' Home

Caption: FULL WORDS AVAIL: INFO@COVERMG.COM The first tenant of the first ever Dutch 3D-printed concrete home has received the key. The house in Eindhoven – the first of five within ‘Project Milestone’ – fully complies with all of the strict building requirements of The Netherlands. Uniquely, the project partners have realised a home with an entirely original design thanks to extensive R&D that enlarges the freedom of form in concrete printing. Project Milestone is a joint construction and innovation project of Eindhoven University of Technology, Van Wijnen, Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix, Vesteda, the Municipality of Eindhoven and Witteveen+Bos. The house is a detached single-story home in the Eindhoven neighbourhood of Bosrijk. It has 94 square meters of net floor area, a spacious living room and two bedrooms. The home is shaped like a large boulder, which fits in well with the natural location and nicely demonstrates the freedom of form that is offered by 3D concrete printing. Thanks to extra thick insulation and a connection to the heat grid, the home is highly comfortable and energy efficient, with an energy performance coefficient of 0.25.
