"In Niederanven, a quiet commune east of Luxembourg City, a small concrete dwelling is rewriting expectations for housing innovation. Designed by ODA Architects in collaboration with Coral Construction Technologies, Tiny House LUX is the nation's first fully 3D-printed residence, a test case in using robotic fabrication to deliver faster, cheaper, and more energy-efficient homes. At just 47 square meters of usable space, the structure is modest, but the architectural ambitions behind it are anything but small."
"The speed is significant in a country where demand vastly outpaces supply: Luxembourg needs approximately 7,000 new apartments each year, yet only under 4,000 are completed. This imbalance fuels some of the highest housing costs in Europe. A 47 m² apartment in the capital can exceed €560,000, while the estimated price of the 3D-printed prototype is roughly one-third less, a difference that begins to make entry-level housing more attainable."
In Niederanven east of Luxembourg City, Tiny House LUX is the nation's first fully 3D-printed residence, designed by ODA Architects with Coral Construction Technologies. The 47 square meter home was printed in under 28 hours per phase, cutting construction time dramatically. Luxembourg requires roughly 7,000 new apartments yearly but completes fewer than 4,000, driving very high housing costs. A comparable 47 m2 apartment in the capital can exceed €560,000, while the 3D-printed prototype is estimated at about one-third less. Solar panels supply daily electricity, a film-based underfloor heating removes boilers, and low-impact insulation reduces long-term energy use. The interior features a simple, efficient layout with a corridor connecting major rooms.
