Who among us ever imagined we would see "luxury" and "3D-printed tiny home" in the same headline?

See inside a luxury 350-square-foot 3D-printed tiny home in Austin

The accessory dwelling unit and its 2,000-square-foot home counterpart were printed at the same time in eight days.

That wins the prize for "Most misleading headline". The luxury home is 2000 sq ft. The ADU - accessory dwelling unit (basically a separate home office) - is 350 sq ft.
 
Both are printed. The woodwork is nice, but I think it's going to take some time before the printed part starts looking better.

The idea of living in a minimal square-footage place has been around forever in the major cities. If you're referring to those TV shows where people put a tiny place on a big piece of land, I agree that makes no sense. But I think the "skyrocketing popularity" is happening in suburbs now, where rents have gotten out of reach for regular-sized apartments.

I agree, the article doesn't say how long the process is to make a 3D printed house. Hell it takes couple of hours for me to print an item.

I bet you could use plaster and maybe tile or something to cover the walls better.

Basically. Any time I've seen a tiny house on a tv show, the people say "I wanted to simply my life and not have so many possessions." So have a yard sale and buy a smaller house. No need to live in one and a half rooms. What if someone gets sick, quarantine them to the top shelf with the tupperware? Then they puke 27 inches from your seat on the one-cushion couch. Then there's the farting. One ripe deuce and everyone's forced out into the wilderness. Forget sleeping in on the weekend if the other person wants to do anything, like make breakfast, sneeze, cough, breathe...
 
It's not a terrible little place, and the view is great.

Turning $170 into $7.9 is pretty impressive.
You could freshen it up pretty easily and have a killer place.
 
$170K ?! You can't get 1200 square feet for that these days! Unless you want to re-roof it, replace the electric panel, the water heater, and sweep up all the old crack pipes.
 
Hey Hectic, your building is leaning over. It's the PWC Tower in Auckland, New Zealand.
