HOME #1 | THE TERRELL FAMILY HOME

2021

Home #1 gave birth to Alquist. Mannheimer collaborated with Virginia Tech to receive a grant from Virginia Housing, the State agency for housing. Together they teamed up with Quikrete to develop a new material for 3DCP to be used with a gantry style printer. The house came together over 5 weeks as we learned on the job site how to print our first house.
