The houses of the future

Here’s what they’ll look like

Have you ever wondered what the houses of the future will look like after this situation? The typical phrase that you hear most is the following: everything will change. A sentence that frightens us, especially at a time when uncertainty reigns supreme. And so, we at Realigro, have decided to analyse what the changes in real estate could be. In particular, how the houses of the future will change after this unprecedented historical phase. It promises to be a return to simplicity. Will it be true? To better understand this, let’s go into more detail in our mini guide today. Let us begin !

The vestibule

Do you know what the word “vestibule” means? It has very ancient origins, and in ancient Rome it represented the space between the entrance door and the atrium. A sort of filter that connected the outside environment with the inside of the Domus. Same situation present in traditional Japanese structures. In the latter case, in fact, it was essential to store objects that could contaminate the domestic environment. We understand each other, don’t we? We will probably come back to adopt and re-evaluate this space.

The corridor in the houses of the future

In the old apartments, the hallway was a must have that, over time, has gradually dispersed, but today, in the current situation we are living, have a further disengagement between one room and another, is essential. It will probably, therefore, be re-evaluated again.
And which room will be penalized the most ? Guess what : the living room ! We will opt for places more functional to our needs and less for those of others. Less is more !

Spaces for work

The word smart working is undoubtedly the most used at this time. In many countries, working from home is not so obvious. Although in many of our guides we have analyzed how to make the home adherent to smart working, it is not said that this is only exhausted at this stage. Probably a lot of companies and businesses will decide to continue in this direction even afterwards. Therefore, it is necessary to start already now to create workplaces in our own home. And that’s not all. There is also talk of a continuum for teledidactics. In short, each house must be prepared to have two places for parents and at least one for each child.
In short, in this case, back to the past, there is very little! On the contrary!

Outdoor environments

What about outdoor environments ? Without doubt, if they had a decisive role before, now they will play an even greater role. However, it will be necessary to combine the typical outdoor environment with a smarter concept. Communication both with the rest of the house but also with those who live in another house will be crucial. So the start with the houses also domotized on the balcony and terrace. From technology and ICT in this area we expect a lot of progress.

And you, are you ready to discover how the houses of the future will evolve?
