Space-Age
Houses

What might people build if they could let their housing fantasies run wild?

12 housesThe optimism of 1950s and 60s space-age design, carried into a future where people can choose all kinds of ways to live.

The idea

A future with room for every kind of home.

Geodesic domes, bubble-like rooms, floating pavilions and sculptural roofs take the exuberant design language of the space age as a starting point for 2036. These are imagined possibilities: an invitation to think about what people might choose when a home can follow their imagination.
