A true icon of innovation and a rare opportunity to own one of the most unique homes in the world, House Zero is not just a home, but a global landmark in design and technology. Featured in Architectural Digest, Dwell, CBS This Morning, The Today Show, 60 Minutes, and recognized by TIME and Fast Company as one of the most important innovations of our time, House Zero illustrates a major advancement in modern architecture and sustainable homebuilding.
Designed by the award-winning firm Lake|Flato Architects and constructed by ICON using their advanced robotic technology, this property features a 2,045 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath primary home with a 350 sq ft 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU. It is the first 3D-printed home of its kind in the world, setting a new standard for sustainable, resilient, and high-performance architecture.
The home’s resilient concrete wall system offers exceptional energy efficiency, structural integrity, and thermal performance. These curved walls are not only structurally efficient, they embody biophilic design principles, creating natural light patterns, soft transitions, and an unmistakable connection to the surrounding landscape. Inside, the architecture blends mid-century modernist ranch aesthetics with the soft geometry enabled by robotic construction. High clerestory windows illuminate living spaces with dynamic daylight, while flawless douglas fir wood finishes and natural textures echo the Hill Country palette. Every design element from the sculptural wave walls to the calming courtyard serve both function and sensory experience.
