The Skovsporet student housing development in Holstebro, Denmark, has been completed using COBOD’s 3D construction printing technology. The project comprises 36 student apartments distributed across six buildings, with a total floor area of approximately 1,650 m², making it the largest completed 3D-printed housing project in Europe.

The apartments were printed on site using a COBOD BOD3 construction printer operated by a team of three people. According to the project partners, printing productivity improved throughout construction, with the final building of six apartments completed in five working days. The homes were delivered at approximately €1,880 per m², below Denmark’s statutory cost limit for subsidised housing. 

The project was developed for the affordable housing organisation NordVestBO and designed by SAGA Space Architects in collaboration with MS+. Project partners state that the development demonstrates the potential of construction 3D printing to support housing delivery while reducing labour requirements and enabling alternative building designs. The project also incorporated locally sourced materials, including lower-carbon cement products, and retained 90% of the existing trees on the site.
