3D printing at the forefront of hospitality and residential design

3D printing is emerging as a trend in furniture, affordable housing and even dog houses, but here at WATG, we are at the forefront of bringing 3D printing to hospitality and residential design. Leveraging cellular fabrication, a patent from Branch Technology, we are printing spaces and places in freeform – which creates a cell-like matrix in any shape or form. 

This level of sophistication allows designing and building to take place essentially everywhere, even in far flung, remote locations. 3D printing bypasses logistical hurdles because it greatly reduces the workforce requirements on-site, as well as alleviating construction waste. All of this can be accomplished without losing the human element of high design quality. 

At this week’s ConExpo, CEO of Branch Technology, Platt Boyd, is gearing up to present the latest updates on Curve Appeal, the world’s first freeform 3D printed house in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Designed by WATG and printed by Branch Technology, Boyd will present updates about the future of generative design using our very own Curve Appeal as a case study.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look of the project, scheduled to open late 2020/early 2021:
