We are not familiar with road constructing policies throughout the world, but in our country, this domain has some serious faults. We were quite surprised when seeing this crazy machine. Being able to build 400 yards of road in one day (that is 365.76 meters), the unusual contraption could easily compete with a large team of workers doing the same thing. Which is why we think the Road Printing Machine could have giant implications in the construction business. The invention can build up roads from cobblestone. Apparently, the mechanism couldn’t be easier: as long as the workers keep providing bricks for the machine, aesthetic roads are being produced and carefully laid out on the desired surface. In case you know more details on this mechanism, please leave a comment with more information. Be sure to check out the video and be stunned!

There is an undefinable charm that characterize secluded homes. In this particular case it seems that the Minnetonka Residence from ALTUS Architecture + Design reigns over its forest landscape while taking advantage of the best it has to offer. Especially developed for a European family, this home features open spaces for playing and living, together with an outdoor entertainment area. The building is L-shaped, strongly contrasts with its surroundings and has a striking contemporary appearance. Here is some interesting information on the materials used to build the residence and the costs implied: “The non-maintenance exterior is composed of folded planes of black concrete block as a sculptural base, which is expressed inside the house. The upper level contains the bedroom wing and a play space over the garage. These two forms rest on the black base as ochre and gray fiber cement panels. The aluminum windows create expansive views on the main level and draw in natural light through clerestory glass on the upper level. Dark Slate and Red Birch floors and custom Birch cabinetry extends the materials palette to the interior. The quality of space and materiality was accomplished for a modest $135 per square foot, including landscape.” What is your opinion on this home? Do you think the architecture of this project was well adapted to its environment?
