[Apis Cor](http://apis-cor.com/en/), a startup based in San Francisco, used a mobile [3D printer](http://time.com/4389744/3d-printed-frozen-arm/) to construct a 400-square-foot igloo-style house complete with a bedroom, bathroom and hall in the Moscow region of Russia. The printer pumped out layers of a concrete mixture that lasts for 175 years, according to [Quartz](https://qz.com/924909/apis-cor-can-3d-print-and-entire-house-in-just-one-day/). And its flat roof can effectively withstand heavy snowfall. The tiny house was reinforced with fiberglass and painted the painted a mustard yellow. In the future, Apis Cor[ said](http://apis-cor.com/en/about/news/first-house) they could print these tiny houses for $10,134 — a price that includes windows, doors, electrical wiring, plumbing and other things resembling a real home.
