In today's Tiny House Tour, we're touring an amazing 3D printed tiny home by 3DCP Group in Holstebro, Denmark. After taking a look inside their tiny house, their CEO, Mikkel, gives us some backstory about their company, vision and the tiny home build which created using COBOD International's printer.

I hope future houses get stairs 😂 not just a random dangerous ladder.
The ladder was not the best idea, I'll be the first to admit that 🙂
@@mikkelbrich apart from that, everything looked good 👍 and as you said, this was a test. Hope you do well ☺️
Totally off putting for bedrooms to be upstairs reachable only with a flimsy ladder. 🙄😳
@@jrsisson1978 Thank you! We learn as we go, and the next houses will have a proper staircase 🙂
Imajine the ladder falling to the floor and you are in the bed busting to use the loo 🚽🥺 Otherwise a Brilliant Idea 💜🇦🇺🙋🏻♀️
The concept is very interesting, but as an engineer, the first question that pops to mind is how is the concrete reinforced? I'm guessing that there are fibers included in the concrete mix since the videos don't show any rebar. But how does that translate into mechanical strength - wind strength, seismic withstand, etc - they are critical factors and can't be ignored. Also, there is the matter of how are in-wall utilities (piping, wiring, etc) handled?
The reinforcement was my question also. As a civil engineer myself, I cringe thinking about that wind turbine base having to endure the moment forces of the turbine in heavy winds.
I am certainly not an engineer, but I was wondering about the same things. I am that ( almost) 85 year old grandmother he mentioned, but I loved the house anyway.
@@jennycorey8968 I love the house too! There are just some unanswered questions that they may have already worked out.
Excellent questions, not to mention there was no reference to how energy efficient such builds are for residential homes
Great question! We have 3D-printed columns with rebar hidden inside the walls. The building is compliant the Eurocodes.
Interesting concept, but that concrete bothers me. For one thing, it's in a country that is very dark during the winter. Seems like all that gray would be depressing to live with. Also, with the concrete being rough, it would collect a lot of dust, and would also be painful if you happened to bump into it.
Concrete is excellent thermal mass, so it'd be great for keeping the place warm! Though I think if it was my house I'd want a different colour, something a bit lighter.
Dust! Exactly what I'm thinking. If you made me live in one, I'd find a way to stretch fabric over the walls.
Concrete paint, like what you'd have around a pool would be an option. It comes in every color you can think of, and provides a pretty smooth finish to rough concrete. Easy to keep clean and dust free also.
Yeh, i thought the same, even natural stone walls look smoother than this 😬
Brutalism never died - apparently! YIKES! My skin hurt just imagining brushing up against those surfaces. Ladder for stairs - HAHAHA!
Several years ago I saw a company in the US building a 3D-printed house. They gave you several designs choose the one you want and it would print it out. I have no idea what happened to this company.
I saw that also and have no idea what happened to it, either!
@@KrisMakesArt I tried to find this again but nothing. However in the press around the world 2 days ago the University of Maine made a 3D-printed house Using wood flour and sawdust. Hopefully Patchy will be able to follow up on this.
This is exactly the type of thing I want. Cannot wait until these become more readily accessible.
Need some sort of stairs or lift for the upper part however!
Thanks George, that's really interesting. Fabulous home and layout. I've been looking at videos by Kerry Tarnow who has been posting about prefab homes in North America. Maybe you guys might want to link up? And, by the way, I loved your video.
I love this idea. For young people, it’d be a great opportunity. But for older folks like me, I’d prefer no second story except for a rooftop deck, which I assume would be possible. They’d need to figure out how to make the surfaces smooth so they wouldn’t injure old skin or collect dust that would affect breathing. This prototype is an exciting first step. They’ll need to keep in mind that bookshelves and other storage units (for me, it’d be for lots of knitting materials) and closets are essential. But no ladders, no cramped up-the-ladder sleeping quarters. Not for me, id est.
They definitely need something to hold that ladder in place! Can you imagine climbing up there and then the ladder slips and you can't get down! Also, I wonder what their thought process was behind not painting the inside of it. It looks very dark.
You would have to put 10 coats of paint on it, it looks nice but how would you keep those walls clean. I would love to see it about a year after some students move in.
yes. yuck
Nice video George 🔥 it was fun to film in Holstebro, and a pleasure to work with you and Mikkel 📸
Those Danes. Always up to something interesting
Love it! Just my style. It looks like there's plenty of room to make a more official, steep and narrow, stairway next to the wall. Would not want to rely on that ladder.
Great video on a really interesting topic. I remember hearing about 3D printed homes in the US a few years ago and was really excited by the concept, but then nothing ever came of it (or so I thought). I'd love to see these as an affordable housing option. Here in the states we have a horrible housing crisis which encompasses homelessness and a massive lack of affordable housing options. A lot of our military veterans are homeless and while there are people who are trying to come up with tiny homes and other options to help them, this seems like it might be a more cost effective and efficient way to build homes. I'd be interested in finding out how well these fair in different weather conditions and how they handle in extreme weather, too. I'd say my only "critique" on the prototype home shown in the video would be that heinous ladder to the upstairs hah!
I’m 73, so I’m not impressed with the ladder. I like your tiny home much better, George! It has character!
Thanks for sharing George ~ not my cup of tea ~ especially that ladder!!! That is horribly dangerous for anyone of any age and not practical at all. Do hope they redesign this! Have a great day ~ I love you.
Most interesting George thank you for the informative video!👍
Thanks George for this fascinating video, it will be interesting to see how their 3D printed homes continue to develop over time. I could see a single storey variation being ideal for downsizing grandparents, I’d certainly live in one.
It's too fucking ugly tbh. Assembling from pre built components is a better play
I would accept a ladder if it is securely mounted to the wall and I can go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without hurting myself! Lol
Even if these homes are geared for people without mobility issues, it would still be a lot safer to put stairs. I didn't see much storage in the home, and the lack of walls around the shower area concerns me. I would not want the whole bathroom to get soaked, every time I use the shower.
There are quite a few homes/hotels in Europe and most in Japan that have wet rooms instead of shower stalls.
i really dont like the stairs in this one, i would put the bathroom door on the other wall and add proper stairs in the gap
I like the look of the textured walls but I wonder how they would age. How do you clean the interior walls? I guess you just vacuum the walls, since they would eat rags.
Very interesting!!! 🤓Were you able to get a price on this house?
Why not add a rotating trowel to smooth the inside surfaces, and have colour added to the concrete mix as an option.
My whole channel is dedicated to 3D printed houses! Love your channel George I watched some of your tiny home renovation videos a couple weeks ago.
Thank you George, good video!
I notice that a lot of the comments are about the texture of the walls. It's a no go for me, the texture part.
But it's very easily solved. Just have people smooth them out as it's being printed. Problem solved, I think.
The walls look awful... And I got anxiety watching him climb that ladder. Doesn't look very safe tbh.
Hello ! Mr D 👋
Enjoy all your travels and tiny home tutorials
Working since 11 yrs of age now 65 yrs of age
My dream has been to Owen a home .
Your new innovative home building give all people
In all states & countrys
The hope & dreams of owning a home to come true ! 👍
In my prayer 🙏 to succeed Dearest George Dunnett ❤️
May God Bless and prosper you well amen 💕 🙏
Make Your Happiness 😊
65yrs still alive 💕
The feel of the place is so gorgeous, the curves, exposed concrete are lovely. But just to frank (I'm Shaun, not Frank), the inside of the windows, don't like, look like '1980s double glazing' , and climbing the ladder to the bed, nah, sort that out. If the energy consumption was spot on, and stairs to he bed, I'd move in. Thank you for this vid Patchy.
Touched upon by Mikkel was the issue of labor ( carpenters bodies wearing down ).
All labor is pretty much the biggest single expense in building a house. Approx. a third by itself.
It's a delicate subject for sure too.
Look to the Luddites in England.
One criticism I have is that the house here is way too complex in shape.
I guess that's a Euro/Modernist thing to make it more sexy/marketable.
Maybe something like the American style of shotgun house in a planned development - starter/retirement homes?
Maybe a hybrid design that still utilized timber framing/roofing?
Also I thought concrete/cement was one of Climate Religion's bogeymen. Although I notice Germany is starting to wake up to that zealotry.
No sir! That ladder is not even attached to anything! What if it feel in the middle of the night? NOW YOUR JUMPING TO GET DOWN! The older you get the greater chance of busting your ass lol
This is super interesting, and I wish this company all the success in the world. But I have some questions, and I'd really love if somebody in the comments could clarify for me:
1. Isn't this naked concrete approach a bit risky? On the outside, concrete won't age well if not covered (treated?), and on the inside I was left with the impression that piping and wiring went through it? Isn't that a no-no for repairs?
2. That bedroom seems dangerous... it seems a bit risky for me to go pee in the middle of the night and changing the sheets (thankfully, uni students probs. do it twice a year) seems difficult. Would it be easier to have a murphy bed in the living room area below and shave off some of the cubic meterage?
3. Lastly, in general, are these circular wall shapes convenient? I've never lived in such houses, but it seems to me that they'd leave a lot of unutilized space because most furniture is rectangular?
The 3-D printing concept seems a good idea for housing. I could see that becoming a thing. As for the comments about the Grey color...add some color to the mix before it starts printing. I don't mind the concrete. Since it's supposed to be for student housing, I'm sure they won't mind climbing a ladder but I actually see them sleeping in the living room and using the loft space for storage. Great concept. Thanx George.
howdy George, ur correct about "not for your 84 year old grandma"...... also not for 72 year old me.... having to climb up to your bedroom is the downside to tiny homes in my opinion.
also the small space given to the bathrooms. was there a price point given for this home? i am hoping that with newer technology that the pricing of tiny homes will decrease because they can be pricy. that being said, i liked the rough textured surfaces and being concrete, i would imagine that it retains heat rather well.
LASTLY, as i and many others on here have stated, i would gladly listen to you reading a book as your voice is sooooo soothing! hoping to see more of your cooking, site seeing, and local videos in the future and for sure videos of the house you and your brother are buying.
just NO! enjoy your trip to Denmark
Love the texxtured walls on the outside of the house but would prefer smooth walls on the interior as the ridged walls would trap dust as well as absorbing all the light. OSB board in tne bathroom is never a good idea with all that moisture, it will eventually rot. A ladder up to a sleeping loft is not sustainable even for students, especially after a few drinks. Interesting concept but still a way to go IMO to make a more practical house.
Thanksnfor sharing, its suchban inovative project. I kove the kitchen space, not keen on the ladder. If the stair area in the bathroom space is too small they could have 1/2 stairs 1/2 ladder so less of a climb and some understair storage.
It is neat but the rough surfaces are not good for waterproofing or keeping the surface clean. Too much dirt and organic material can stick in all those cracks. Having someone on-site to smooth the surface would be useful. For the most part, only really small homes have been highlighted using this process. I think the selling point would be the speed of the construction and cost. Simply to house people without a huge burden of debt. Also incorporating plans so one could expand the home with the same process at a later date like a puzzle piece would be considerate as well.
I have often thought that we need to build more wind-proof, tornado-resistant homes here in the US. It seems that global warming is making our tornado season longer, both starting earlier and lasting longer into the winter. Earth-sheltered homes will help, but in flat areas, I wonder if a curved, concrete, 3D printed house with proper reinforcements would reduce storm damage?
I wouldn't personally want a ladder-accessed bed but apart from that, I'd be interested in a tiny home.
this is very progressive I hope it catches on
Hm, I don't know what to think about this. It's really dark inside and the ladder-thing is not so good. I also would rather have some stairs than space for stuff. You could include drawers into the stairs. The technology might be good for the base of the windturbine but for a house? And as the others have said, dusting there would not be a pleasure.
The concept is interesting but the inside needs to be better, the rough walls would be a magnet for dust, or imagine brushing against a wall 😳
Where was the insulation. Not to mention storage. Elderly need these too. Not with ladders though.
Hello George. I'm an architect and I shared this video in the work group. Everyone loved it. It was new for all of us. Thanks for the information put out so nicely, as always. Greetings from Brazil.
Well, this prototype house answered all of the questions we already knew the answers to: it can print a wall. It answered none of the questions we have beyond that, like how to insulate, plumb, wire, furnish, decorate... what it's like to live in one and what advantages this particular house has over a similar brick, lumber, or pre-cast concrete house.
No cheek at all, I believe a clever stairs would be a tonne better then storage. Great video!
Kind of looks like our old school library. I feel I would not like to live in it but I like the concept.
My style definitely, would be better with a stair case compared to a ladder lol, thanks for sharing 😊
Very interesting
Great video as expected, but I have one little suggestion! When you show the images of the fully furnished house, the background behind it moving is kinda distracting. Maybe just use a still image next time :)
Very interesting video! It's really cool that you can make all sorts of shapes in 3D printing and don't have to stick to the usual straight lines. Endless possibilities for creativity. If this technology really becomes widespread, how cool the houses can be. On a side note, loving the diverse direction the Tiny House Tours series has taken.
Interesting concept. Thanks for another great video on a tiny house! I hope you will one day get sponsored enough to visit these tiny houses abroad, your personal experience sleeping in those houses was always a great addition to the more technical aspects of the houses.
At 65, my ladder days are over!
The ribbed mortar will pick up dust.
I bet it will be a bear to keep clean
I thought that too. If you've ever had to clean a log cabins walls, you know.
@@haggielady might have to get a compressed-air blower? Instead of a vacuum-cleaner?
The future of housing or not, a 3D printed tiny house is for sure better than a 2D printed one 🙃
I love the 3D printing concept...very future oriented with incredible potential. I'm sure there are tweaks and modifications as time goes on, as one experiences more of these types of dwellings. Wonder if the grey interiors could all be painted a brighter lighter color.
Very interesting. Sounds like it may be practical for affordable housing.
The loose ladder is ridiculous. How does one get down if the ladder is knocked over?
The interior and exterior concrete walls are fugly and definitely not kid safe. Deep scratches come to mind as a kid runs along side of the walls.
The future will be childless.
these houses are for students, so no children. I do agree the ladder is dangeroud
I prefer traditional building way, with brick or stone wall, and solid pillar for every corner. I am not sure for tiny building, but for bigger living houses? Not recommended. sophisticated technology--beautiful but fragile. not for long lasting building. I am sure your tiny cobble house is much stronger than the building with this 3D tech.
Isn’t concrete pretty awful carbon wise? Altho I know you can use recycled concrete. They’d be better off using recycled plastic and epoxy (wild guess I don’t actually know). Love the idea for the forms it can create but wouldn’t want to live in one -
Looks like a half finished bunker!
I prefer GeoShip ceramic homes. They are round, last 500 years, totally toxin free, and can withstand most earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. Geodesic homes are much more energy efficient than square houses like this. Geoship is located in California. They are not making homes yet, but still in the phases of getting investors.
This was interesting and I can see 3D printing built structures have some practical value. However, I wouldn't like to live in one - it's cold looking and looks like a home built by a computer.
It would've been good if youd also got someone who could talk about the negative impact, like long term environmental impact in hundreds of years? Materials like brick and wood are easier to replace the impact on jobs etc rather than just the guy who is going to obviously be biased.
Question: how many skilled but non-"academic" jobs is this eliminating? It's not sustainable to replace vocational lead roles with tech-interlect roles because we need a variety to suit the variety of people on the planet.
I wouldn’t like living in a concrete house. It’s cold and I didn’t see any insulation. Also, the grey, rough walls are depressing. This tiny house is basically a glorified cave which begs the question, “do we want to live like cavemen”?
Hey man I watched your Q and A after having not watched you for a good while, you seem to have lost some weight. We’re about the same height and I too am quite skinny and struggling with it so much. Can I ask how much you weigh and if you have any insecurities about it? It’s a very personal question so it’s ok if you would prefer not to discuss ;)
Interesting tech take on Adobe building form factors. Sorry just don’t see the scaling advantage other than working for the printer instead of working for the contractor. It’s one step removed from labor, that’s all.
Maybe Swedish students drink less than British ones? But that ladder looks like a drunken (or sober, tbh) accident to happen...
This company looks like Earthshot prize nominees for 2023. That sort of monetary investment and profile is what they need.
Thx. George; I'm looking in to this for a small narrow site project in Herts.; will hook u up for a review if it sees the light of day...
Few questions.
1. What the cost per meter and how does it compare to tradicional build
2. What the BER rating... I don't see any insolation on video :/
3. Is co concrete reinforced? How many levels can you build?
4. Concrete in bathroom and kitchen I don't think it higieny and with that structure it's not easy to clean. Prove me wrong
5. All utilities in walls are they preplaned?
Few ideas.
1. Think about colour mix in concrete
2. Make flat white walls an option... I love concrete walls but that much is to much for me
If the future is houses as small as they're getting, the only places left with decent sized homes will be Australia, America and Canada.
Great conception, yes obvious design flaws but an interesting concept for the future in many projects.
This is a very interesting video George can you please give us an outline of what it might cost for one of these little houses and how cold are they because if they're made of concrete could it be that they are quite cold and difficult to heat as they're not built in a normal construction? 🤔
Concrete actually retains heat very well.
Thank you :).
I find it an odd shape and design for a tiny home, so much wasted space with the wall shape and height etc. you don’t usually have so much height and not take advantage of the it like making a proper second floor. There was no storage And all the curved walls make the actual living areas so much smaller with really no privacy at all. And yes you are absolutely right. The ladder didn’t even seem feasible for a young active student. I wouldn’t want my child going up and down that ladder at night or morning. Being tired and getting up to use the washroom would be dangerous. And you pointed out a real obvious detail. Of course use that shelf area that looks like weird shaped stairs already so why not make it stairs. It looks like it would fit That’s for sure. Odd. This has been around for some time now. I’d think it would be far longer along. But honestly for the same reason we haven’t seem any cheaper housing on a larger scale modular, 3 D , many other great designs so greatly need. And that’s MONEY !! With all the existing businesses trades wanting to keep making big money and keeping their local government happy. There is little want for change. If it cost less .. why would they bother. They don’t want codes changed. That way everyone that is involved with building selling heating etc homes will still get their money.
I like the texture of the walls, but I cringe thinking how my kids would fare falling against that cheese grater as they learned to walk. I really like this type of building method though.
So how many square metres makes a "tiny house"? That one looks palatial compared to my (normal) flat.
I wonder if they could ‘colour’ the concrete white or some lighter colour - all the grey and dark colours are pretty depressing
Looks great for a small house, I'd prefer to see the inside walls plastered so they could be painted and not look as bare and rugged.
I had no idea 3D printing could produce such large scale structures.
Personally not a fan of the visible concrete, I would want to cover that with some sort of material but overall love the idea of it.
This was very interesting and I too wondered if that spot in the bathroom could have fit a modified staircase.
Now that's just too tiny. Absolutely unliveable.
What if you sprain your right wrist and left ankle .. 😮
I really like the curved walls. There must be some steel inside the concrete to give it shear strength?
I wonder how this would work for non-standalone houses. Like in a city, if a house gets demolished they have to work within the bounds/walls of the neighbouring houses.
Good point. There would't be room to use it for those urban in-fill projects.
@@lshwadchuck5643 perhaps they could angle it to reach the walls somehow?
@@Bella1899 Well, the whole concept of all 3D printing is an XYZ grid. So any design point in the cube of space included inside the tracks can get a blob of material. The tracks are outside the cube of space and in old urban neighborhoods where there isn't even a driveway between houses, there just wouldn't be room. Maybe if at some point a drone with a hose...
Thanks George very interesting. Hugs
Amazing idea, poor design, so much wasted space.
Looks nicer than i thought just need way more light
Ugly and I don't like robots to do anything that humans can do a lot better.
Horrible use of space. There focus is on looks not practical.
This was very interesting, thank you for sharing :)
Cool video! You clearly did your research.
No reinforcing in the structure? I'd hate to be in an earthquake.
Absolutely, AMAZING !
Loved it!👍🏼👍🏼❤️🇺🇸ohio
A spiral staircase instead of a ladder, perhaps?
Excellent video, great concept.
