ICON featured in The New York Times
Journalist Debra Kamin reports on ICON's founding story, where the company is today and the future of robotic construction.
We’re honored to share that ICON was recently featured in The New York Times in a story that digs deep into our origin, mission, and bold vision for the future: “Can You Print a House? God, Robots and the U.S. Housing Crisis."
At ICON, we’re not just building homes and structures, we’re reimagining how the world builds. From our beginnings in Austin, Texas, to developing the largest community of 3D printed homes in the world, we’re pioneering the future of construction through robotics, advanced materials, and automation.
As The Times notes about ICON’s technology, “It’s a shift that could bring significant relief to an industry where tariffs, supply chain disruptions and an increase in the price of building materials have caused prices to skyrocket.”
From 100 homes at Wolf Ranch to 121 homes for the chronically homeless and military barracks supporting those who serve, ICON stands at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and necessity — delivering beautiful, resilient housing and structures at a time when the country needs it most.
“It’s impossible to solve the global housing crisis doing things the way we’ve been doing them,” Mr. Ballard said. “The way it will be solved is through robotics and automation.”
