FutureHAUS

I have been a part of a team at Virginia Tech working on the FutureHAUS, a revolutionary prototype for the home of the future, which demonstrates how digital technologies, cutting-edge products, and smart building design can unite to make our homes more responsive to our future needs and way of living. The FutureHAUS won the International Solar Decathalon and was exhibited in Times Square in New York City and The World Expo in Dubai.

Our team’s role, as designers, was to collaborate with faculty and students to develop the branding and materials for extensions of the project and to create the visual interface design for control tablets and displays. Specifically, I acted as the faculty advisor and art director. The home of the future will look quite different than what exists today, but we can already see how technology, such as smart objects and tablets, is shifting how we live.
