Prvok, 3D-printed houseboat in Hluboká u Borovan, Czech Republic.
The Prvok floating structure combines concrete, wood, and green roofing materials across its 13.5-meter length and 3.673-meter height, creating a 43-square-meter living space.
Sculptor Michal Trpák unveiled this experimental residential project in August 2020, marking the first fully functional 3D-printed floating house in the Czech Republic.
The structure demonstrates the intersection of Czech architectural innovation and environmental design through its integration of living spaces with water-based housing solutions.
The construction method reduces building costs by 50 percent and decreases carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent compared to traditional brick construction techniques.
The robotic printing system creates the structure at 15 centimeters per second, enabling complete fabrication within 48 hours and total assembly in under two months.
