ICON
ICON develops advanced construction technologies that advance humanity. Using proprietary 3D printing robotics, software and advanced materials, ICON is shifting the paradigm of homebuilding on Earth and beyond.
ICON has delivered 3D-printed homes for the homeless, delivered the first 3D-printed homes sold in the U.S., 3D-printed a Martian habitat for NASA and barracks for those serving their country with the Texas Military Department, plus partnered with world-renowned architecture firm, BIG. The largest neighborhood of 3D-printed homes will also break ground in 2022 in a newly announced partnership between ICON and Lennar, one of the nation’s leading homebuilders. The innovative 100-home community, codesigned by BIG, is a huge moment in the history of community-scale development.
Additional social housing, disaster resilient housing and market-rate housing projects are underway along with developing space-based construction systems for exploration of the Moon and eventually Mars.

Purpose
ICON develops advanced construction technologies in service to humanity in order to solve great problems and pursue grand opportunities. We exist as a response to the global housing crisis. Construction-scale 3D printing not only delivers higher-quality homes faster and more affordably, but fleets of printers can change the way that entire communities are built for the better. The U.S. faces a deficit of 5 million new homes and worldwide there are 1.2 billion humans that lack adequate shelter. There is a profound need to swiftly increase supply without compromising quality, beauty, or sustainability and that is exactly the strength of ICON's technology.
Vision
ICON's vision is to deliver dignified housing for the one billion people who lack adequate shelter on this planet and to build humanity’s first homes on other worlds.
Mission
ICON's mission is to create advanced construction technologies that can be deployed in service to solving great problems and pursuing grand opportunities.
Values
- Velocity
- Movement ≠ Action. We are going to have to do our work as fast as it can be done without undermining our quality standards. Don’t confuse movement with action. Our aim is not to work hard, but to work with purpose towards a common goal. Focused and unified work between teams will increase speed and effectiveness.
Make hay when the sun is shining. Opportunities multiply as they are seized. Shoot for the moon and you land in the stars. These are different ways of saying that when there is work that needs to be done, it needs to be undertaken with speed and vigor. We have the ability to turn down the dial on human suffering and turn up the dial on human flourishing. We should seize this opportunity with velocity.
