Smarthome: Wohnen der Zukunft

Wie werden wir in Zukunft leben? Bleibt trotz Individualisierung noch Platz für die Familie? Wie verändern neue Technologien unsere Häuser und Wohnungen? Mit Fragen wie diesen hat sich das Trendforscher-Paar Oona Strathern-Horx und Matthias Horx beschäftigt. Ihre Antwort: das „Future Evolution House” am Stadtrand von Wien, in dem sie seit dem Vorjahr mit ihren beiden Söhnen leben.

PARTNERS:
We are working with these innovative companies on the project. Please click on the logo for more information:


“The Mobility House” combines home living with electrical mobility from your garage plug-in power feed to energy grid solutions.

One of Austria's highly promising “New Green Tech” start-ups.

We are drawn to Dornbracht by their consequent design and philosophy around the theme of water.

Minimalism meets technical expertise, plus innovation, and excellent personalized professional advice. And they still find time to support the arts, explore world food culture and bathing rituals and innovate.

Alape is not just about sinks. It is about individuality and shaping space. A great challenge for a bathroom, but one that they rise to with great success.

In a time where bathrooms are becoming ever more central to interior design, they have responded with a clear and clever range of simple but stunning sinks.

Italian kitchen design at its best.

"Duemilaotto" by our favourite designer Piero Lissoni stands out for its distinct tactile look. A bold but beautiful combination of elegant kitchen block and cupboards contrasted cleverly with a weathered wooden dining table top. Made from pinewood salvaged from a 100 year old Italian mountain hut it brings individuality plus authenticity and history back into modern design.

Quooker is a small, simple but brilliant product that ticks all the boxes for being part of a future house.

It saves energy, makes life easier, and you can throw a bulky appliance (the kettle) away. The Quooker delivers boiling water on tap (literally), and as a British 3 litres-of-tea-a-day drinker, this is one of my favourite future house innovations.

This company from Barcelona is making waves in the world of design.

The new furniture and bathroom range from Jamie Hayon is a cheeky mixture of minimalist baroque and fits perfectly to our bathroom salon concept.

The distinctive modern signature look of the flooring from this Danish company belies the fact that it was founded in 1898.

Four generations later they are still a friendly family firm, with carefully managed forests whose philosophy seems to say "we look after the trees, and you look after the wood."

Liebherr are constantly working to improve the efficiency of these traditionally energy-gobbling appliances.

The company do not just think environmentally, but also about the environment inside the fridge itself – with their BioFresh drawers to keep food fresher for longer.

The car dealer Denzel is thinking about the future of mobility. As part of their GREEN-DRIVE project aimed at reducing CO2 they are importing the first electric cars into Austria and working on environmentally friendly car sharing schemes.

Miele are producing new "eco- intelligent" appliances for the houses of the future. For example AllWater washing machines that use solar-warmed water and calculate your energy useage, and a dryer with built-in energy saving heat-pump technology.
