The house of the future embodies a remarkable blend of innovation and accessibility. Designed to be both affordable and easily replicable, these homes stand as a testament to the ever-evolving realms of architecture, social experience, and technology. Utilizing sustainable and cost-effective building materials alongside efficient energy systems—such as rainwater harvesting and solar energy—these homes provide a viable solution to the global housing crisis.

The design prioritizes replication, making these homes accessible to a wider population. By leveraging modular construction techniques, the house of the future can be effortlessly reproduced, significantly reducing construction time and costs, with three distinct prototypes available for the main elevation.

Conceived across three levels, the house is organized around a central patio inspired by traditional oriental courtyards. A series of stairs connect the entrance to the roof, creating an additional outdoor space. This revolutionary approach ensures that comfortable, eco-friendly housing is no longer a luxury but an attainable reality for everyone, promising a brighter and more inclusive future for all.

The central void acts as the heart of the design, defining the surrounding volumes, shapes, and openings. Reimagined “moucharabiyeh “, an oriental latticework, is employed alongside delicate openings to create a sense of intimacy. The tension in the shapes accentuates the sun’s rays, enhancing the functionality of the spaces.

At the core of the house lies the void, which conceals an underground water tank with a capacity sufficient to support the household for five days. This innovative feature underscores the commitment to sustainability and resilience in the house of the future.
