Future Homes, created by Neighbourhood Films for realestate.com.au, showcases the convergence of changes across architecture, technologies, population and socio-cultural trends.
From the tiny house movement to the latest in smart homes, realestate.com.au Creative and Video Manager Monique Knoblanche said the video series was an exploration into the progressive change taking place in the way we live in our homes.
“We wanted to show Australians what home living of the future looks like. That is, homes that are thinking about tomorrow, today,” Ms Knoblanche said.
“We’re finding that Future Homes are less about aesthetics and more about simplicity and functionality.
“Our lifestyles are changing, so it makes sense that the way we live in our homes is changing too. Home living is responding to what’s increasingly more important in our lives, such as convenience, sustainability, efficiency, and connectivity.”
Today’s edition of Future Homes featured Charlie Gutjahr’s smart home in Melbourne’s hip suburb of Brunswick.
“Living in a smart home should make things more simple and convenient, they shouldn’t add more complexity,” Mr Gutjahr said, whose smart home can be run entirely on voice activation.
“It doesn’t have to be technology for technology’s sake. It’s really useful stuff that will save money and make life that little bit nicer.”
