A Czech sculptor has teamed up with a group of architects to create the 3D-printed house prototype that could become a holiday home for the future. (Photo/Agencies)

Construction of the first-ever 3D printed concrete house in the country has begun over the weekend. The house has three rooms: a bathroom with a toilet, a living room with a kitchen, and a bedroom, in a 43-square-meter area.

It was printed using a robotic arm at 15 centimeters per second, which is much faster to build than a conventional brick home.

The house was built using technologies like a green roof and reservoirs for drinking and sewage water, which is more eco-friendly.
