Situated on the outskirts of Austin within the Oakcrest Ranchettes subdivision, Project RtecH|VE covers 1.5 acres and transcends the traditional residential project concept. It's crafted as a vibrant ecosystem that seamlessly integrates art, technology, and sustainable practices. This development serves as a creative nexus for artists, tech innovators, and entrepreneurs, fostering an environment ripe for collaboration and a melting pot of ideas and cultural exchange.
Project RtecH|VE distinguishes itself using modular, adaptable living units, which can be 3D printed in assorted clusters using large-scale 3D printing platforms. It offers a versatile housing solution that can be customized to align with the distinctive needs of growing progressive locales across the U.S. and globally, such as Boulder, Asheville, and Madison. This innovative approach ensures the project's scalability, sustainability, and capacity to foster groundbreaking living environments.
Central to its innovation, RtecH|VE leverages 3D printing technology to boost construction efficiency, affordability, and sustainability. It champions self-sufficiency and high performance, integrating adaptive shading, light reflectors along upper glazing, permeable pavers, rooftop rainwater and solar energy harvesting, heat pump water heaters and air conditioning systems with energy recovery, bio-waste composting, and green wall integrated guardrails featuring drought-resistant Virginia creepers. This holistic approach underscores the project's commitment to ecological responsibility and operational excellence within a sustainable framework.
RtecH|VE is committed to creating an adaptable, sustainable, and inclusive living space, setting new standards in community development by emphasizing environmental responsibility and the dynamic needs of its residents. The project is a bold stride towards a future where living spaces are affordable and eco-friendly and nurtures a strong, interconnected community ethos. Through innovative features such as coworking spaces, community gardens, and renewable energy systems, RtecH|VE is not just building houses—it's sculpting a sustainable, community-focused future that resonates with the principles of living in harmony with nature.
Our vision is to be at the forefront of sustainable urban development, setting new standards for living spaces that prioritize environmental stewardship, technological innovation, and community engagement. We envision RtecH|VE as a model for future communities worldwide, demonstrating that it is possible to live in a technologically advanced way and balance with nature. Through our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and community, we aim to inspire a movement towards more responsible and fulfilling ways of living, where every aspect of life is enhanced by a deep connection to the environment and a robust and supportive community network.
