Singapore’s First 3D Printed Multi-Storey Home Is Designed Around Light and Family

For Singapore’s first 3D-printed multi-storey home, Park + Associates used technology to rethink the domestic interior, turning the process itself into part of the architecture

 

Singapore’s first fully 3D-printed multi-storey house uses additive construction to define both its structure and spatial organisation. Built by Park + Associates for founder Lim Koon Park, the home sits on a site previously occupied by the same family for 25 years; it carries traces of the neoclassical home that once stood there while entirely transforming the construction process.

Rather than conceal the additive process, the layered ridges of the printed walls are left exposed, forming a physical record of how the house was made. At its centre, an oculus draws daylight and natural ventilation deep into the interiors, connecting the different levels and creating a focal point for the family.  As light moves across the curved surfaces, the atmosphere shifts throughout the day.

More than a demonstration of what 3D printing can achieve, the home explores how technology can serve architecture while still creating spaces that feel warm, comfortable and deeply human.
