Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “10 Futuristic Homes | Transforming Houses and Home Design”.
[ Narrator ], Hey everyone: it’s Reacher., Those of us at Minds, Eye Design, are big fans of all things: smart, eco-friendly, sustainable, futuristic et cetera., So we decided to bring 10 of our smart homes of the future. ( static. ) Number 10.. Hong Kong’s housing shortage is due to several factors, including a lack of space, to build on one of the least affordable housing markets in the world.. The James Law, Cybertecture firm, has created what it believes can be solution for those in need of reasonably priced accommodations..
It’S called Opod Tube Housing.. It starts with a retro-fitted 8.2 foot-wide, concrete water pipe laid on its side.. A circular door, which opens via smart phone doubles as a window to let in light. Standard features are those that would be needed for any apartment.. A folding bench doubles as a bed. There’s room for a microwave mini fridge and an air conditioner., There’s also shelving for storage and rails for hanging clothing.. The rear part of the pipe is partitioned off to form a bathroom area with a shower and toilet .
