Skovsporet spans 1,650 m\u00b2 (~17,800 sq ft) across 6 buildings, organized into clusters of six apartments each. Individual units range from 38 to 50 m\u00b2 (~410 to 540 sq ft). The village sits next to VIA University College and was designed by SAGA Space Architects together with MS+.<\/p>\n
3D Printing Housing: Beating the Cost Cap<\/h2>\n
Remarkably, Skovsporet’s buildings were delivered at \u20ac1,880 per m\u00b2 (~$205 per sq ft), excluding design, engineering, utility connections, and landscaping. For residents, that translates to rent starting at \u20ac670 (~$780) per month for a 50 m\u00b2 apartment.<\/strong><\/p>\n The curved walls are where the economics get interesting. With conventional methods, brick, bespoke formwork, or precast elements, every curve adds cost. With 3D printing, a curve costs no more than a straight line, so Skovsporet’s rounded, sculptural forms carried no premium. Another bonus for the project is that the 3DCP Group was able to source materials locally, including a cement formulation that emits up to 30% less CO\u2082 in production than traditional cement.<\/p>\n All 36 apartments were printed on site by a single COBOD BOD3 printer, operated throughout by a crew of just three,<\/strong> a fraction of the labor a conventional site this size would require. They could complete one building, that held six apartments, (275 m\u00b2, ~3,000 sq ft) in just five working days. The printer also took on the repetitive, heavy lifting that typically wears down construction crews, improving job-site safety, while building from a digital model kept wall precision consistent across all six clusters.<\/p>\n \u201cThe technical breakthrough was not printing one successful structure,”<\/em> 3DCP Group Co-Founder and CEO Mikkel Brich said. “It was repeating the process across six clusters while improving speed, maintaining accuracy, and integrating the printed elements with conventional building systems.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Each apartment functions as a complete home, with a kitchen, study space, lounge, bathroom, and sleeping area. Roof windows and sloped ceilings bring daylight deep into the rooms, and printed concrete is paired with timber, cork paneling, and glass for a Scandinavian interior feel. The six buildings frame shared courtyards, with gardens, footpaths, and cycle parking designed to balance private living space with community areas.<\/p>\n Resident Amalie Hvas described her first impression of the printed apartment: \u201cI like it. It gives the building character. When you think of 3D printing, you picture a little machine making something in plastic, not an entire apartment!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n What do you think of the housing development?
