A sustainable home design post-COVID

The home of tomorrow focuses on green energy, technology and utilization of space.

Hygiene will be of higher importance and ‘safe zones’ become a priority on entry. Fewer surfaces mean less time cleaning and the flexibility encourage you to style the space to make it feel like home. The minimalistic approach maximizes the life span of your house; Maintenance is easy and accessible, and you will have a timeless design.

The use of natural ambience can be integrated through skylights and indoor plants will bring the sensation of nature inside.

Stimulating surfaces through artwork will give the illusion of compact spaces feeling boundless. Soundproof walls make your home suitable for a modern lifestyle, where you can set up a desk and work from anywhere.

The carbon footprint will be minimized by using materials for several purposes. The renewable energy supply will come from wind and solar cells will be installed on the roof.

There will be no fixed form. Rooms can be transformed though space dividers and unfolding furniture. ‘The future home’ is the ideal template and can be tailored to every environment to accommodate locally, sourced materials. Your space, your house.
