Ukrainian engineer Max Gerbut and his team has created an autonomous, 3-D printed, composite solar powered-house called PassivDom. Gerbut and the PassivDom team claim the 387 square foot house, made with an industrial 3-D printer, is the first totally autonomous house in the world, and can operate in a wide range of climates.
All systems in the eco-friendly house can be operated with smartphone. The PassivDom house design allows for many units to be assembled together like Legos to build up a larger building.
The idea behind PassivDom is to create a home that can be built without external structures, including foundation, plumbing, and water tanks. The creators also aimed to make it possible to live autonomously and sustainably with zero carbon emissions. The startup says its houses are pre-constructed in a factory, and claims they can be deployed so fast that owners can move in within a day of buying one.
