Seamlessly blending robotic technology and 3D printing in timber and concrete construction, this cabin explores the future of home construction. But what’s truly remarkable is its unique approach to sustainability: it’s built from ash trees devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer beetle, an invasive species threatening nearly one in ten Ash trees in New York state.
