5 key facts about this project
### Project Overview
The House of the Future is located in the United Arab Emirates and reflects a contemporary architectural approach that merges sustainable design with cultural context. The intent is to create a residence that not only functions effectively for families but also encourages meaningful interactions among its occupants through an emphasis on shared spaces and collective experiences.
### Transparency and Spatial Flexibility
Central to the architectural concept is the theme of transparency, which influences the spatial organization and flow between indoor and outdoor areas. The layout allows natural light to penetrate deeply into living spaces while ensuring privacy is preserved when needed. This openness is further complemented by a modular grid design, enabling the structure to adapt over time to meet shifting family requirements. The ground floor design promotes integration with landscaped gardens, creating a visual and functional continuity between the home and its surroundings.
### Material Selection and Sustainability
The selection of materials reflects a commitment to both aesthetic quality and sustainability. The structure employs concrete for its foundational elements, while extensive use of glass enhances transparency and facilitates a visual connection with the environment. Wooden elements add warmth to the design, incorporating bamboo for its sustainable properties. Aluminium is utilized for durability in frames and fittings, further contributing to the project's modern character. Additional sustainable features include photovoltaic panels for energy generation and integrated water management systems for efficiency in resource use.
