At the heart of Zuri Gardens is a construction process that looks more like science fiction than suburban development. HiveASMBLD’s proprietary 3D-printing technology uses large robotic printers mounted on tank-like tracks to lay down custom mortar, layer by layer, forming the structural walls of each home.
In most markets, affordability comes at a cost—and it’s usually structural. Lower-income buyers are often left with homes made from cheaper materials, thinner walls, and lower-quality finishes that can deteriorate faster than middle- and high-end construction. But at Zuri Gardens, the team behind the project is taking a different approach.
