A startup invented this $10,000 house that can be built in one day

When you do it yourself, building a tiny house of around 400-square-feet typically takes a couple months(depending on the design) and costs tens of thousands of dollars in materials.A San Francisco-based housing startup called Apis Corsays it can do the same job much faster and fora lower price. It recentlybuilt its first home nearMoscow in just one day with $10,134 worth of materials.Thesecret' A 3D-printing robot.Working with Russian home-building company PIKGroup, the house was constructed at Apis Cor's test facility in Stupino, a town south of central Moscow.Before the construction, Apis Cor programmed the 3D printer to construct a rounded house. The machine applied cement layer-by-layer to formthe shape of the house.The botleft a small gap between the interior and exterior of the walls, where the team then placed fiberglass reinforcements and sprayeda polyurethane-based mixture for insulation.The team then installedthe house's windows and finishes (like countertops and cabinets), and painted it bright yellow. The workers and the 3D printer finished the jobin approximately 24 hours.Here's what the house looks like from above:Measuring 409 square feet, the homefeatures an open layout. Thanks to a shallowdivider, the kitchen is semi-separated from the living area (which could double as a bedroom with a pull-out couch). There's also a small bathroom in one of the alcoves.The company says building homes withthe bot is more efficient and less expensive than relying on humans. When the costs for the home'smaterials'like the foundation, walls, insulation, finishings, and wiring' are added up, it comes tojust over $10,000. A square house that's the same size and made using the same materials would cost even less'approximately $8,870, according to Apis Cor."The house can beofany shape, including the familiar square shape, because the additive technology has norestrictions ondesign ofnew buildings, except for the laws ofphysics. Itmeans it's time totalk about the new fantastic potential ofarchitectural solutions," the Apissite reads.Check out the video below, which shows the construction process:SEE ALSO:The 25 most beautiful buildings in the world, according to architectsJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: These houses can survive natural disasters
