Hey guys, Jenny here.
And I'm back this week to show you another incredible home.
That's really pushing the boundaries of traditional housing on this channel.
I've shown you traditional stick, framed homes, homes built with mud and straw,
and even homes built with repurposed bottles and tires.
Never until today. Have I shown you a house that was 3d printed from a robot,
could 3d printing be the future of home construction?
Let's take a tour of this tiny home to find out,
but first I'd like to thank nomad internet for sponsoring this video.
Nomad is the only truly unlimited internet you can use in rural areas.
And while on the road stay connected wherever you are without any extra fees
to find out more, check out the link in the description.
My name is Natalia I'm head of sales at Mighty buildings.
Mighty buildings is a startup that is disrupting construction industry with 3d
printing technology, automation and robotic systems. What
we do different is we manufactured buildings fostered than traditional
construction. It takes us only two weeks or four weeks for each building.
So we provide foster housing solutions
They have a steel frame at the core of the structure and the
shell of the building is 3d printing in less than 24 hours.
Basically the large machine, which is 25 feet high. It prints layer by layer.
The composite material that we developed. It's a Lightstone material,
which is a combination of minerals and acrylic put the polymers under the UV
light. The material is cured instantly and it can support its own weight.
It's the higher quality of the building we are offering it's new material.
We brought to the market and it's greener and more sustainable long-term you
know, for the whole new generation
Building a studio size,
that takes us two weeks in the factory in Oakland to get shipped out and deliver
to a client.
A lot of people are trying to invest in their home value in the property that
they already own. There's a huge trend of building an ADU,
which stands for an accessory dwelling unit. It's a second home on the property,
no matter what, building a model, choose mighty buildings, building plans,
are pre-approved by the entire state of California,
we are reducing the timeframe for getting the permit to actually
start building people struggled, to get permits, to build fast. It takes,
you know, years.
So we reimagine the way housing should work by going online,
picking the model you like, and it gets delivered to your house.
Welcome to the mighty buildings. Come on in.
We have a little sitting area by the floor to ceiling windows.
So you'll get a lot of natural light.
The space that we have is 350 square feet,
every tiny bit of the space counts.
And so we decided to stage this exec unit was in Murphy that fold
up and you actually get a lot of space in the unit.
And it's multifunctional. You could have, you know, a handout area or, you know,
a dining set up this exact Murphy features a lot of
shelving, a lot of cabinets and drawers space.
The beauty of this furniture pieces that you don't have to remove any of the
items that are sitting on the shelves.
You just fold up the bath and you're good.
The Murphy bed also has a closet space that you could throw all the pillows in.
I love this inbuilt closet.
It actually is perfect for one or two people.
It has a shoe rack. It has space for some, you know,
additional items and a lot of space for, you know, hang out your clothes.
Studio unit has a very compact kitchen that has pretty much all the appliances
and fixtures that you need. There's a cook top. There's a fridge.
There's a lot of, you know, very multifunctional shelving in here.
And one of our favorite pieces is the pullout shelf that you could grab
anything from the top shelf and quickly, you know, put it.
Up.
We installed in this unit behind the mirror,
backsplash it giant passive, you know,
tach bed that you could actually browse then your sides, or, you know,
watch your YouTube video, you know, while you're cooking, you know,
a recipe you could FaceTime on call your friend.
I think it's a great feature that everyone could use.
Bathroom was very spacious to not take a lot space we actually
used in well-built tank for the toilet, which is a steady, clean, pleasing,
all your mechanical electrical and plumbing core is literally in this wall
because your kitchen is right behind it.
So the building is California building code compliant, and you know,
we're compliant titled 24, titled 25, the energy efficiency standards,
and it's built as a shell, you know, very air tight.
So to prevent moisture stacking in the building,
we actually built the motion detected exhaust fan.
That sucks up all the humidity out of the building
Implemented in the shower,
a little sitting area because we realized a lot of our clients use the unit as
their, for the guests.
So that allows for just a very comfortable sitting for, you know,
kids or elderly in the unit that we are showcasing we actually decided to
expose the 3d printed part of the building that is actually a
structural layer.
And here you can see every layer is formula meters each.
So the 3d printing machine, you know,
went layer by layer and material is more durable than traditional
materials. It's more resilient and more resistant than concrete to moisture,
water, fire, and other environmental factors such as earthquakes as well.
It did take less than 24 hours to 3d print the shell of the studio building
Since this room was your laundry room.
We actually have a laundry space with, you know,
laundry baskets in here.
So this unit features a combo washer and dryer unit with additional storage
space above and below it.
But the space is actually very adaptable to have stackable washer and
dryer so we could meet any client's needs.
Pretty easily.
All the utilties are very easily located into one part here.
We have a guest power tankless and on-demand water heater.
We have a mini split heating ventilation and air conditioning here where all
your meters are. And then we have connections for water, you know, gas drainage,
and the sewer connection would be the only kind of bottom side connection that
is coming, you know, behind the unit.
And then we have an electrical sub panel that is right behind.
You have a building that basically comes to you 90% ready.
So they have all the plumbing inside their pre-wired for the electrical.
We have a crane that usually picks the building and drops it onto the
foundation. Doesn't take more than, you know,
four to six weeks on site to get everything done and completed.
The vision of the company is to create more beautiful,
affordable and sustainable housing design that we use, you know,
is very well thought.
There are some design elements that allow for a complex and very
multi-functional and efficient space.
That's kind of the first comment we're getting from, you know,
every client like, Oh my God, I thought, you know, I'm going to see a tiny home,
but it's actually, it's a huge space. And everyone was like, Oh,
I think I can live in it. You know.
Thanks for watching this week's video.
