Housing in the future

No aspect of housing has been spared, they are all being reinvented in accordance with three overarching principles: housing that is agile and custom-built, housing that is shared and open to the rest of the city, and housing that is sustainable and resilient.
HOUSING IN THE FUTURE
Family breakdown, changing lifestyles, an ageing population, the incorporation of housing into the sharing economy, an overall increased interest in sharing, the promotion of localness and nearness, the meteoric rise of digital technologies and connected devices, and sustainable development concerns are just a few of the factors that are changing the form and function of housing and disrupting how residents use the places where they live. No aspect of housing has been spared from these changes. Housing layout and distribution, the role and uses of a home, its connection with the neighbourhood, and the structure of the residential building are all being reinvented in accordance with three overarching principles: housing that is agile and custom-built, housing that is shared and open to the rest of the city, and housing that is sustainable and resilient. Bouygues Construction decided to merge its thought process with the vision of experts and housing stakeholders to suss out what housing will look like in the future.
