Antracit presents the MEANDRY Výškovice project – terraced houses created using 3D concrete printing

“MEANDRY Výškovice Residence” is a unique residential project with a concept of living that is unparalleled in the Czech Republic, offering terraced houses in Ostrava built using innovative 3D concrete printing technology. Antracit has prepared an architectural study with the aim of finding an effective urban and architectural solution for the land in Výškovice. The study proposes terraced houses in larger and smaller layouts, each with its own garden or terrace and parking. The project is based on the principle of adaptable housing that can change naturally along with the needs of its residents. The proposed development thus supports diverse living situations and allows the home to adapt flexibly to different stages of life. The authors of the design are architects from Coral Construction Technologies, a leader in 3D concrete printing and construction automation, which, together with Antracit, is part of the Purposia Group investment group. The project is now entering the project documentation preparation phase. In the next phase, pre-sales will begin and the final design of the houses will be finalized based on the requirements of future residents. In 2027, a new neighborhood inspired by the meander of the Odra River could be created in Výškovice.

The urban and architectural concept is based on the motif of a meander – both from the location of the land near the meander of the Odra River and from the organic curves of 3D printing. From a bird’s eye view, the entire design looks like a continuous meander that winds through the area and creates a soft boundary between the buildings and the landscape. This organic approach is reflected not only in the design of the buildings, but also in the very philosophy of the project, which is based on the ability of housing to adapt to people and their needs. “A significant part of the public may still perceive 3D printing in construction as something experimental and far removed from the idea of a normal home. However, our project shows that this technology can respond very well and practically to the real needs of people – in different stages of life and situations. Thanks to 3D printing, there is no need to create one universal type of house; each house can be different. We offer housing that adapts to people, not the other way around. And it is precisely this flexibility, together with a fast and efficient construction process, that may be crucial for the future of residential development,” says Zuzana Bajgarová, director of the Antracit group.

The model of adaptable housing is based on the idea that a home is not an investment product, but a space for real people in different stages of life. The design therefore takes into account a wide range of life situations – from families, couples, and single users to shared housing, work-live arrangements, seniors, and intergenerational housing. Each of these groups has different needs, daily rhythms, and privacy requirements. That is why the solution is based on a flexible housing model that can adapt to different ways of life. It strives for high-quality housing with plenty of daylight, quality outdoor space, the possibility of working from home, shared facilities, and privacy that can be adjusted over time. Thanks to 3D printing technology, it is not necessary to repeat one type of floor plan, but to create each house or apartment as an original. Future residents can thus obtain a layout and usable area of 50–120 m², as well as the orientation and size of the outdoor space that corresponds to their actual needs.

The 3D printing technology is provided by Coral Construction Technologies, a pioneer in robotics and automation in the construction industry. The mobile 3D printing unit will enable the project to be implemented on site, quickly, efficiently, and with high precision. The design of the houses has been optimized with an emphasis on daylight, energy efficiency, and the interior comfort of the residents. The living spaces are mainly oriented to the west to provide sufficient light in the afternoon while limiting overheating during hot days. “Thanks to 3D printing technology, we can build architecturally superior houses without significantly increasing costs. At the same time, it is a very fast form of construction—while conventional technologies would take approximately two years to complete, using 3D printing, it can be completed in about one year,” says Jiří Uran Vítek, co-author of the architectural study from Coral Construction Technologies.

“The MEANDRY Výškovice project is an example of cooperation across our investment holding company. The Antracit development group brings its know-how in the field of residential construction in Ostrava to the project. Coral Construction Technologies is behind the most advanced technologies in 3D concrete printing and construction automation. By combining experience, architecture, and technology, we can push the boundaries of residential construction in Czechia and bring not only high-quality architecture but also innovative construction methods to Ostrava,” adds Jan Hasík, CEO of the PURPOSIA Group investment holding company.
