Haus.me’s 3D-Printed Smart Homes Allow You to Live Totally Off-the-Grid

Haus.me , for example, now offers a series of what it calls autonomous self-sustainable Intelligent houses. Thats a mouthfuland a big claimbut the models go a long way to back it up. Theyre 3D-printed and come in three varieties, ranging from a two-person, 400-square foot studio with kitchen and bathroom, up to a two-story luxury house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. All models are fully furnished, right down to the wine glasses.

They also run on solar power for heating, cooling, and electricity, making them completely off the grid. That means you can drop them just about anywhere, while the 3-D composite polymer frame makes them safe for hurricanes and earthquakes. The company even offers a refund if your house is destroyed by zombies or aliens . They can even be delivered the next day from the Haus.me stock; if youd rather fully personalize your house, from the exterior color to the appliances, they can have a model out to you in an average of seven weeks.

Whether youre planting it on a beach or in your backyard, the company says theyll guide you through the permitting process for your new house; some locations and models may not even require a permit. The models are delivered fully assembled and equipped.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, models start at $300,000; the luxury model is a cool million. You can start configuring yours here .
