While 3D printed cabins aren't a new concept, this space created by the California-based company Emerging Objects breathes new life into the tech-fueled mini homes.
An individual is able to recognize how unique this cabin is at first glance, as its entire facade is covered in tiles, with each tile housing a mini, living plant. 4,5000 tiles comprise the space's exterior, making for a nature lovers dream. The cabin's interior is equally impressive as its both small and cozy. The cabin is large enough to fit storage, multiple chairs and a large comfy couch that pulls into a fold out bed.
Perfect for a nature lover's get-a-way, this 3D printed cabin represents the intersection of sustainability and technology.
