The house, which is a tiny standalone structure made of recycled ash wood, was created by the architectural studio Hannah from the USA. Specialists used concrete stilts with 3D printing to lift it above the surface of the earth.

The house, called Ashen Cabin, is designed to study a more stable structure, combining a lower back, destroyed by an invasive beetle, with digital methods, writes "Archidea."

A small building was lined with wavy wooden panels, windows made of black plywood were installed. Concrete was used to form the high pipe. And short legs-supports are the foundation that protrudes from the structure and is visible on the facades.

The 3D printing system was used for laying concrete layers and forming the angular base of the structure. All concrete forms, including prismatic supports, a curved chimney and fireplace, textured floors and furniture, have a linear pattern marked with uneven edges.

“The goal of the project is to unveil the peculiar tectonic language of 3D printing, exploring how concrete delamination, unstoppable three-dimensional deposition of elongated material lines and the act of bending can offer new construction strategies,” the studio explains.

Recently house, reminiscent of intersecting concrete and metal cubes, created by specialists from the architectural studio FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects. This is a long, narrow construction in Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
