Design studio For Everyday Life presents its Housing Salinas project at design fair Material Matters during London Design Festival 2024.
The project, which won an Initiative 99 award, is an affordable housing project incorporating 3D-printing technology by construction technology firm Icon and mortar-based concrete CarbonX.
Designed in response to displacement caused by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, the houses aim to be socially and environmentally conscious, with construction costs at US$99,000 (£75,843) per home.
For Everyday Life – Housing Salinas takes place from 18 to 21 September 2024 at Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf, Barge House Street, London SE1 9PH, UK.
