### Overview and Concept

Located within a modern context, the House of the Future employs a modular construction system that facilitates customization and expansion tailored to diverse family needs. The design integrates an application that allows users to personalize their living spaces while adhering to defined structural parameters, reflecting a commitment to adaptive functionality.

### Architectural Layout

The site planning emphasizes flexibility, with distinct zones for public and private access designed to promote fluid movement throughout the villa. Dedicated areas for family entertainment, guest services, and private retreats are meticulously arranged to enhance usability. The vertical and horizontal module interplay not only enhances adaptability but also provides a diverse range of configurations that support various privacy levels and interactions with the outdoor environment. Key features include a landscaped backyard, complete with a swimming pool, creating a space for recreation and a connection to nature.

### Materiality and Sustainability

The material selection is essential to the villa's architectural identity. Concrete, glass, framed panels, wood, and metal are employed to create a robust yet inviting structure. Concrete provides the necessary structural support, while glass maximizes natural light. Sustainability is a guiding principle of the design, featuring a rainwater management system, a hydroponic greenhouse for food production, and photovoltaic cells to harness solar energy, reinforcing the project’s commitment to eco-friendly living.

### Construction Methodology

Utilizing prefabricated modules crafted off-site, construction is streamlined to reduce time and waste, aligning with contemporary sustainable practices. The estimated cost for the project comprises a module base cost of $20,000 AUD, with additional features bringing the total estimated cost to $38,000 AUD.
