The High-Tech House of the Future

The Outside

  Future houses are likely to be eco-friendly, eschewing CO2 heavy manufacturing processes.Your home might incorporate building blocks constructed from natural cement churned got by bacteria.or fashioned from fungi.Roof innovations that could take off are super-reflective tiles for those in scorching climates.and, for the rest of us, biosolar roofs that combine habitat for pollinators with energy generating panels.
 
 Self-cleaning finishes, already on the market. Building on the well established grime busting properties of titanium dioxide, researchers are developing paints to keep your exteriors glistening. The driveway is not going to be made of gravel, but taking inspiration from the Dutch plans for highways constructed from plastic waste scooped from  the sea. Your drive could be heated  to avoid snow shovelling  and have charging stations for your self-driving electric cars.

   The path to your front door, meanwhile could be embedded with tiles that can turn footsteps into electric power. Companies like Google promising deliveries by drone and Starship wheeling out delivery bots, the postman won't be beating a path to your front door much longer,

Your garden is likely to see a fusion of tradition and technology- devices such as Blossom already monitor weather reports to regulate watering of your lawn, while robot mowers will keep it trimmed- but the field of digital art could allow you to augment with changeable statues and soundscapes created on virtual spaces.

For flower lovers, multi-sensor gadgets such as, Wi-Fi plant sensor will keep  tabs of everything from soil acidity to temperature.
