The designers at Virginia Tech say they have created the house of the future with a concept so innovative that it could completely change the residential industry.
FutureHAUS has developed sophisticated but modular solutions for the home of the future, capable of bringing up an elegant and futuristic residential space in just a few days.
The interior is completely futuristic, everything is dynamic: if you host people in your house for a party, the walls make room and create a larger room. In the bathroom, protective glass is also capable of transmitting television images. The floor also acts as a scale and diagnostic system, monitoring the weight and other parameters of those who walk barefoot. Fingerprint recognition allows the bathroom to remember everyone's parameters, regulating the water temperature according to their tastes.
Even the individual pieces of furniture raise and lower to adapt in height to occupants of different heights: it seems a bit like the home of the mad hatter.
There is also a voice assistant, which will be a bit like the butler of the house of the future. The FutureHAUS house is fully equipped with an Amazon Alexa.
"It's almost like building houses using Lego," says Joseph wheeler, co-director of the Virginia Tech design research center. “A very advanced Lego.”
FutureHAUS prepares everything with an LED ceiling that perfectly mimics the light of day, and the roof houses a landing point for the future drones that will deliver goods.
“These new methods will also help us reduce our impact on the environment,” says Emil Avram, the vice president of innovation at Dominion Energy. “This house of the future has solar roofs, conserves energy with its batteries and recycles water.”
All in a generous 270 square meter space, which can be built and configured entirely in a week.
Here's where to take a complete virtual tour of the house of the future.
