Initiative 99 (i99), an international design competition called upon students, designers and architects from around the world to help address the global housing crisis by designing homes that could be built for $99,000 or less with ICON's 3D-printed construction technology. Two award-winning designs were selected for ICON to 3D print within Community First! Village’s expansion of their growing master planned development serving the Austin-area’s homeless community.

“ The promise of ICON’s 3D-printing technology is really exciting. Vulnerable populations like the homeless are never among the first to access leading-edge anything, but now here in Austin, Texas they’re among the first in line who will be living in some of the most unique homes ever built—and we think that’s a beautiful thing.
