A ribbon cutting for the unique residence took place on October 14.<\/p>\n<p>The outside and inside walls of the just-over-1,400-square-foot structure were built up in layers of concrete, laid down by a computer-controlled extrusion head mounted on a large gantry. It&#8217;s a construction that Kyndra Light, co-owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.precisionrenovating.com\/\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Precision Building and Renovating<\/a>, explained is incredibly durable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Right now you&#8217;re looking at 13 inches of solid steel and concrete.

That had City Commissioner Curtis Richardson thinking about more affordable housing in challenged neighborhoods.
