ICON Brings 3D-Printed Sunday Homes at El Cosmico to Marfa
Learn about these 18 desert oasis homes that sit at the intersection of innovation and adventure
Marfa just keeps getting more chic. Hospitality visionary Liz Lambert and ICON, the leader of advanced construction technologies pioneering large-scale 3D printing, have broken ground on the first 3D-printed hotel and residential development in Marfa. These 18 desert oasis Sunday Homes, available for purchase, aren’t your typical vacation homes.
Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group on the 60+ acre property of the newly-reimagined El Cosmico, these three and four-bedroom Sunday Homes available for sale feature expansive views of the Davis Mountains and range from 2,000 sq. ft to 2,500 sq. ft on 1+ acre lots. In the majestic landscape of the Chihuahuan Desert, Marfa sits amidst some of the country’s most magnificent natural wonders, including Big Bend Parks, McDonald Observatory, Chinati Hot Springs and Balmorhea State Park. Adventure will always be right outside your doorstep.
The revolutionary homes will be connected to the property’s hotel, which also features an on-site restaurant, spa, bathhouse, pool and community areas with fire pits. El Cosmico even has a center stage for live musical performances. In a town that often lacks many of these hospitality features for visitors, these are immensely helpful to future residents looking to call Marfa home occasionally during the year.
The circular, modular homes showcase entirely new architectural approaches made possible only through large-scale 3D printing, including domes, arches, vaults and parabolic forms. El Cosmico will continue to celebrate the convergence of creative culture and the natural desert environment of the Far West Texas landscape.
These homes will be printed in an exclusive color tone unique to this project to incorporate the surrounding climate and touch on elements of Marfa’s desert nature. Each home comes fully furnished, with curated interiors designed by Liz Lambert herself. These homes truly are one-of-a-kind pieces of art, reflective of the strong art community found within the town of Marfa.
The first model home is expected to be complete by the end of the year. Pricing on the Sunday Homes start at $2.29M and are exclusively listed with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty.
