The Future Evolution House Vienna

The Future Evolution House

On a piece of land in on the edge of the Viennese woods, we are currently planning to build a “Future Evolution House”. We plan to have it ready in 2010.

The main future orientated issues we are looking at during the planning process are:

  • Flexibility; The Future House should be able to adapt to the changing needs of the family and work spheres (both individual and collective).
  • Mobility; the house should be a kind of “hub” for a multi-mobile lifestyle. 
  • Smart Energy; we want the house to be more than simply “passive” in terms of energy saving. It should produce, save and transform energy.
  • Work/Life/Play; The Future House will have a workspace and a lifespace.
  • Smart Design; the design of the house will work with smart new materials, and experiment with light, space and colour.
  • Inclusive Design: an environment that adapts easily and is responsive to the varied physical needs of the occupants during their lifetime.
  • Smart Technology: the house should use simple, elegant, user-friendly devices

The Future Evolution House project will work with future thinking/orientated companies in the field of house technology, design, electronics and energy.

We will be giving regular updates on planning, progress and partners.
