The villa, situated in Dubai’s Arabian Ranches III area, stands as a testament to Emaar’s commitment to innovation, design excellence, and sustainability. Hindered by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the reveal of this hidden gem was eagerly awaited since 2019.
Emaar’s net asset value, hovering around 40 billion USD, underscores its status as a real estate giant, known for timely delivery and groundbreaking designs. The 3D printed villa aligns seamlessly with Dubai’s ‘Smart City’ vision, contributing to the city’s goal of having 25% of all construction projects 3D printed by 2030.
The collaboration with COBOD, a pioneer in construction technology, played a pivotal role in bringing this project to life. Henrik Lund-Nielsen, Founder and General Manager at COBOD, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “This project is not just about creating a house; it’s about shaping the future of construction. Our collaboration with Emaar demonstrates how advanced technology can redefine residential living, offering smarter, faster, and more environmentally friendly building solutions.”
The 3D printed villa features captivating design elements, including curved walls and large-scale windows, showcasing the versatility of COBOD’s technology. Emaar’s foray into 3D printing aligns with Dubai’s overarching technological and sustainable goals, contributing to reduced waste and noise pollution.
Moreover, the villa serves as a testament to Emaar’s pursuit of excellence, not only in construction but also in integrated smart living. The incorporation of Xiaomi’s Mobile X AIOT products, including smart vacuums, air purifiers, cameras, and more, highlights how 3D printing can redefine the landscape of smart living in the UAE.
As Emaar continues to pioneer advanced construction technologies, the 3D printed villa stands as a symbol of progress and innovation in the real estate industry.
