It's a Southern Hemisphere first - an Auckland house that's been entirely 3D printed.
The Paremoremo property was built in sections and designed for a family of four who are already living in their new home.
It might seem like any modern new build - but look closer, because there are curved clues this home has been fully 3D-printed.
"We talked to Tim the architect and we were almost ready to sign off on the design and then last minute, like literally on the day of signing, he said, 'how do you feel about doing something a little bit fruity'," home owner Ali Wilford said.
That 'fruit' was 3D-printing 63 panels in 'pods' or sections at a Hamilton warehouse, then slotting them all together on the site to create a house.
The walls are made from a kind of concrete material that's durable and hard-wearing.
"A special kind of binder, so we blend it here in New Zealand so the material is 80 percent locally sourced," said QOROX founder Wafaey Swelim.
The process is more emissions-friendly than traditional concrete builds and it's highly-efficient too.
"We believe we can print the walls for a house in around 10 days to two weeks at the most," Swelim said.
Swelim's company has also been working with Auckland Council to print traffic islands for Auckland roads and Tauranga City Council to build a 3D-printed skate park that will open next year.
And he's watching how the technology is being used overseas with interest.
"For flood protection in Florida, and also for coral reefs, they have also printed bridges in Europe," he said.
As for getting more New Zealanders into 3D-printed housing, Wilford said waste is something to consider in the building industry.
"I think coming forward there will be more people who consider it," she said.
An environmentally-friendly option that makes for a beautiful home too.
