A futuristic development in a West Texas town is now accepting applications, The Post can report.
Known as Sunday Homes, the multifaceted project in the eccentric high desert community of Marfa is looking for buyers.
Marketed as “a new standard for housing solutions,” Sunday Homes is slated to be a combination hotel and homeowners association, with 30-some houses sharing luxurious amenities with a relocated incarnation of the local El Cosmico hotel.
All of the dwellings will be 3D-printed, as will the hotel — an international first.
First opened in Marfa in 2009, El Cosmico is a “campground hotel for intrepid travelers,” offering accommodations including tepees, trailers, yurts and a tiny home called the Cosmic Kasita.
It regularly hosts the annual Trans-Pecos Festival of Music + Love, limits the reach of its wireless internet to the lobby, and encourages visitors to “take the long open road” and enjoy “naps and other moments of non-action” during their stay.
As part of the current development, El Cosmico will relocate from its current 21-acre plot to its new 3D-printed building on a 60-plus-acre property it will share with the residences.
The bohemian lodgings’ larger grounds will feature amenities — some of which will also be 3D-printed — including a hammam, an infinity pool, a bar, a stage, an outdoor communal kitchen, an open-air bathhouse and an on-site restaurant.
Homeowners will have access to all hotel amenities.
The residences — which are being built in collaboration with Danish design firm Bjarke Ingels Group, Austin-based construction company ICON and hotelier Liz Lambert — will start at $900,000 and require a $5,000 deposit to apply.
“We are honored to be working with this team of visionaries. Sunday Homes at El Cosmico will bring a rare opportunity to own one-of-a-kind 3D printed homes in Marfa designed and built by a truly exceptional and dynamic team,” Douglas Elliman’s Emily Waldmann and Megan Gallagher, who will be handling sales and marketing of the Homes, told The Post in a joint statement. “This is an iconic project rooted in West Texas and we’re thrilled to introduce it to the public.”
The homes will be printed on-site and laid out as 1,200- to 2,200-square-foot two-, three- and four-bedrooms designed to blend with the natural landscape — and feature plenty of soft shapes, curved surfaces and domes, according to press materials.
They’re anticipated to be move-in ready sometime in the second half of 2024.
