What we do

Transforming the way we think about living

We provide a well-curated space that is not only meticulously designed, but also smartly appointed.

Where we are going

At Forge New, we believe that the way we build homes is outdated, costly, and highly inefficient… so we are changing things. Forge New has partnered with We Print Houses and will be building the very first 3D printed home in the United States that can actually be resold!

Our 1,800 square foot home in Austin, Texas will be “printed” in just a week. We have a proprietary geopolymer cement blend that is designed to last centuries, not decades.

Imagine a world where you can walk through your Forge New designed home with our AR/VR platform and when you’re ready, you just press “print” and your home is printed. We aren’t there quite yet, but are making some disrupting strides forward! Check back with us or sign up to get more information about our Austin project!
