IKEA Buys 11,000 Acres of U.S. Forest to Keep It From Being Developed
IKEA recently bought an 11,000 acre forest in Georgia to keep it from being developed as part of its carbon reducing strategies.
A stunning 3D-printed home is currently available for sale on Zillow at 34 Millbrook Ln, Riverhead, New York.
At $300,000, it costs 50% less than comparably sized houses in the area, and the manufacturer, SQ4D, hopes to use it as a jumping-off point to tackle housing shortages in the city and surrounding towns.
Using its Autonomous Robotic Construction technology, the 3D-printed home will be erected on the spot so that it features approximately 1,500 square feet of living space, with a detached 2-car garage—all on a quarter-acre with a garden.
Inside the structure, the open-floor plan includes 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The 3D-printed material is actually made of concrete, and therefore has much better energy efficiency and durability. SQ4D also offers a 50-year limited warranty on the house.

SQ4D is one of a number of construction firms armed with humungous 3D printers, looking to direct the revolutionary technology towards the inefficiencies and high costs of the housing industry.
Requiring merely three laborers on-site to oversee the job, SQ4D can print a concrete building (without a roof) in one-third of the normal time frame required for such work.
