A Community of 3D-Printed Homes Is Being Built for Oregon Wildfire Survivors

In September 2020, the Almeda fire swept across Oregon’s Rogue Valley, destroying more than 2,600 homes. It was the most destructive wildfire in the state’s history, and almost three years later hundreds of displaced families are still living in temporary accommodations like FEMA trailers or hotels. But a new community of 3D-printed homes is being built to house people affected by the fire.

The community is called New Spirit Village, and it’s located in the southwest Oregon town of Medford, which was right in the wildfire’s path. Its 87 one, two, and three-bedroom houses are being built on a six-acre plot of land. Planning and permitting for the project took a year and a half, and construction just started earlier this summer.
